What to look for in ads?
I'd love a featherweight singer 221. I've been looking on eBay and some machines have dozens of bids, others have none even though it seems the machines look just as nice as the ones with 20-30 bids. I know the price of a 221 isn't as high as some sewing machines these days, I'd like to not make a mistake and bid on a bad machine since vintage machines are new to me.
