There's also a "Companion Serger Mate 430" on that site for $41.00; has just under two days of bidding time left.
Also a Simplicity Serge Mate for $20.
I guess people bid on items like e-bay -- ?

All listed as Tacoma but it says items can be shipped anywhere in the continental U.S.

I just looked again and saw two new, in-the-packaging, Olfa 60mm rotary cutters, one for $7 and the other for $9. I'd better not look anymore!
I never heard of shopgoodwill.com before but the prices are so reasonable, it could be dangerous to browse.

The serger I mentioned in previous comment is actually a Companion Serger Mate 430. There was a Simplicity Serge Mate for $20; two new, unopened Olfa 60mm rotary cutters, one for $7 & the other for $9. Sewing machines, boxes of fabric, yarn... Evidently you bid on items. Prices were very reasonable.
Items are listed at Goodwill outlets all over but they ship them anywhere within the continental U.S.

Oh yeah, I love Goodwill.com. Most of the items can be shipped, but a very few are pick up only. The magic press is one of those. I always look & sometimes bid on things at this wonderful site.

Just have to consider the shipping costs, too.

You're right. I always check the shipping estimator. It makes a difference. A lot of the time I usually decide not to bid on something because the price plus the cost of shipping has gone over what I wanted to spend. However some things are great deals. I love Goodwill.

Thank you again Bev. I was able to win this bid and I picked it up yesterday. I have wanted one since I saw Eleanor Burns use one on one of her shows but I just didn't have the money to buy a new one. It is now set up in my sewing room.

Great! I'm so glad that you got it! I wanted it too but I couldn't go & get it so I'll keep looking for one that I can get here in TX! I'm so glad that someone from here could get it. I felt that a quilter would know what to do with it. I'm so glad that you got it.
Here's a link to what I did get this week.
I just love Goodwill.com!
