Me either!

Are the out of there minds

Yikes! What do some people think??

Hysterical! I guess the 'trader' thinks that because they're old, maybe antique, they're worth something.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, though.

Wow, I have seen some pretty bad things on Craigslist, but I think they have to be amongst the worst! Unreal :shock:

WOW...I am still laughing...Naomi :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

oh my..I have more than a FEW words...but none of them are very nice..hehehe...wow...

wow !! well some people think their "stuff" is worth $$..I guess if one was a furniture refinisher that would be it ..But seeing how I am not, all I can say is good luck on that one !LOL

I wonder if anyone will answer that posting!

What she said...

I wouldn't even trade a broken sewing machine for that.

Unless these are some rare antiques worth something to the right person I have no clue what these people are thinking :)...lol

think their old machine died trying to fit up these wonderful chairs?!!

Well if I had those, I would want a good machine also!!!!!!

No apparently just smoking crack. LOL!!!

ditto!!

All I could say was "Ha! Ha!" -

while it might be an antique, it is not in good working order, so how can you ask for a good working machine in exchange for what some would call junk? On the other hand, the saying goes "one man's junk is another man's treasure!" and obviously the "seller" is trying to find the treasure.

No, I won't trade them, but maybe I'll pay the $500 they're asking....NOT!!!

Too funny :lol:

maybe it is a JOKE? I sure hope so

Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what she said...... :thumbdown:

YUCK.

I couldnt see myself trading a non useable machine let alone a good one...All I can say is Good Luck to them in finding what they want..

Good luck with that one!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, right.

I wouldn't give them a good sewing machine for the pair of them even if they were in good shape. They are old, but need a complete going over. 500 or good working machine doesn't quite cut it. It was a good laugh tho. How dumb do they think us sewers are, unless they are trying to con someone.

That's a good one for the show where 2 guys take your junk, fix it up and give it back to you! LOL

I would go for that deal. Even a cheap machine from Wal Mart may do for the trade. He asks for a good woking machine! :)

Beauty is in the eye of the Upholsterer.......that would be me :)

I have enough junk of my own ..don't need someone elses

Well....make sure they are a few GOOD words and you say them in a very GOOD not nice way!!

Interesting. Definitely a positive thinking person.

Bahahaha I saw those too and thought the same thing!! If I'm not mistaken, there are several ads for it.. here's another: http://knoxville.craigslist.org/atq/2649013970.html

It always amazes me. We have a weekly paper that you can list things for sale or trade or wanted. There is always a listing wanting: Free or very inexpensive antiques or furniture. Must be in good or excellent condition. And, my comment to self is always,"good luck with that one".

Personally, IF I needed more furniture which I don't, and was twenty years younger, I would trade my current GOOD sewing machine.
I've refinished and reupolstered furniture for years. The wood is probably mahogany. Stripped and refinished and reupolstered that set would sell for an EASY $ 1000. Place it in a consignment shop or the multi vender Antique locales and walk away. On-line is usless for this type of thing.
