    I would feel so guilty at this point, if it's possible I'd get in contact with the wife and ask if that box was meant to be sold.

    Since the scissors alone were worth that, you did great!

    Wow! If his wife didn't want to part with it, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. If that's the case he better be ready to fork over the credit card and see about having his limit hit the max. He might want to see about having his limit raised or give her a couple more cards.

    I think it probably belonged to a former wife as he had only been married about 3 months to his current wife.

    Great deal!
    Those look like Kenmore feet. And I see you've got a walking foot too.
    Don't feel bad/guilty... enjoy your great purchase.

    If you keep them and aren't in need of them, check ebay for a pricing and sell them. There are often people who buy a machine with no feet and need to buy them.

    Oh I forgot to say nice score too! That is a lot of sewing notions for five bucks.

    OK, thanks for clearing that up, that does make sense. You did get a great deal.

    Me, too. I have known some men to be very unaware and insensitive to their wives' belongings.

    If the box was not out, it probably should not have been out.

    If someone had sold something I had set aside. I would have been furious. For years.

    I'm with you. I was thinking the same. I would have to go back and ask wife.
