A bit judgmental IMHO. I Do Not rush to buy them, but after 2 - 3 weeks on Craigslist or a posting they are going to the scrap yard or be turned into tables I Sometimes give up and give in. These aren't rust buckets or the too plentiful Singers. I still kick myself for passing up a Singer with lovely pheasant decals. After 2 1/2 weeks on Craigslist I emailed and it had just gone to the dump. Seriously- I'm Not sending a W & G to the dump!
