With the exception of this summer I do a lot of garage sales. I have found several antique and vintages machines that I have paid $10-$15 for and a few for as little as $3. I always keep my eye open for one. I always ask about machines and a few times the family had one they didn't think about selling but decided to sell to me that day. Always ask no harm no foul in asking.. I am hoping next summer will be much better for garage sales and estate sales. The last one I got was discovered during a conversation with the technician at the dr. office. She had a FW she was thinking about and I was in love. It was mine in 2 days.
