I love to look at these machines and to sew on them. When I find one at a yard sale and it's in good shape I find it very hard to walk away. I know I have to because I'm out of room. All that I saw a Kenmore at a yard sale last weekend that looked like it was still on the showroom floor. They were asking way too much at $ 50, but it was mint. I could not find the model number as the couple selling her mother's stuff was hovering and clucking at how it had been barely used. I've always loved Kenmores, so walking away was tough, but I managed. Could not believe the price!
