OH NO!!! That is just wrong :x

Sadiemae 08-05-2010 07:32 PM

Interesting, and the current bid is $25. That wouldn't even pay for the shells where I live. Wonder what the reserve is...

CAROLJ 08-05-2010 07:33 PM

Not only is it wrong, but it is also ugly.

alaskasunshine 08-05-2010 07:36 PM

BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :cry: :cry: :cry:

raptureready 08-05-2010 07:37 PM

Wrong, ugly, cheap, trashy, but I'm sure someone, somewhere is going, "Wow, look at that! I could do something like that" Sad.

seamstome 08-05-2010 07:38 PM

What would you do with it? It's not like sewing and the seashore are naturally entwined themes.

Sadiemae 08-05-2010 07:38 PM

It isn't my style, but I am sure there are people who will be interested.

littlehud 08-05-2010 07:40 PM

I don't like that at all. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

ctack2 08-05-2010 07:41 PM

Awful!

AnnaK 08-05-2010 07:43 PM

A travesty!

Elizabeth-Liz 08-05-2010 07:53 PM

just plain ugly and wrong.

pittsburgpam 08-05-2010 07:58 PM

Oh yuck!!! It's not even pretty!

Dawn Hendrix 08-05-2010 08:07 PM

some people just make me shake my head.....

CarrieAnne 08-05-2010 08:08 PM

I bet it once was a beauty, lol!

SherriB 08-05-2010 08:16 PM

At first glance, I thought it was popcorn.

lalaland 08-05-2010 08:35 PM

OMG, wonder what ever possessed her to do that. And the reserve hasn't been met at $25?? Even in non-working condition, someone would have been proud to purchase it and display it just for the love of the machine.

That "face lift" is as bad as some of our movie stars!

moonrise 08-05-2010 09:39 PM

Well ... it's definitely "different" ... :?

:cry:

Hobbyhorse1027 08-05-2010 09:42 PM

Interesting.

stchn4livn 08-05-2010 10:24 PM

Some people should not be allowed to have hot glue guns!

sharon b 08-05-2010 10:43 PM

Nope not art in my eye, sorry

baskets4moo 08-05-2010 11:48 PM

I've seen this seller before & I thought she had good taste, boy was I wrong! I think she actually put in the ocean and let the barnacles grow on it before she started with her glue gun, so I would call it a premeditated murder of a featherweight!

earthwalker 08-06-2010 12:19 AM

Hmm...imagine trying to keep the wretched thing clean...I mean it's a dust and pet hair magnet. Or if it gets really disgusting do you just chuck it back in the ocean for a bit?

LittleMo 08-06-2010 12:23 AM

Seriously crook - yuck

Rainy Day 08-06-2010 12:25 AM

That is hilarious - do you think she thought it was a good joke, or was it unintentionally hilarious and seriously tacky????

CoyoteQuilts 08-06-2010 01:36 AM

Dust catcher! Sad to see.

pojo 08-06-2010 01:48 AM

That is crazy.

What is wrong with that person doing that with a beautiful sewing machine.

I treasure my antique singer feather weight.

quiltinghere 08-06-2010 02:55 AM

did I read it correctly that she put it and out of the ocean so seashells could grow on it?

oldswimmer 08-06-2010 04:36 AM

I just dont get it......so many other ways to just enjoy looking at a FW.....she could have practiced restoring the finish herself or something else... but seashells? I just cant imagine that it was beyond repair... but whatever.

crawford1219 08-06-2010 05:02 AM

Oh wow-hmmm.

Ann S. 08-06-2010 05:06 AM

SAD SAD DAY! I Don't Get IT! WHY, WHY?

tdgiffin 08-06-2010 05:07 AM

I don't even know what to say..... :shock:

MomtoBostonTerriers 08-06-2010 05:12 AM

Rice Krispies Treat meets Featherweight.

What an ugly concept.

hope the buyer is smart enough to buy stock in "AIR DUSTER" cans of air because she will surely need them.

pojo 08-06-2010 05:35 AM

I wouldn't even waste my money buying it.

You no what it is going to cost to take them shells off and redo it.
