Because it wasn't meant to be yours. Yours will come in its own time.

Did you see the actual machine or was it the carrying case? Maybe it really didn't work and would have cost a lot to get it sewing?

Wow, who ever was holding the estate sale was not doing their research. A quick trip on the internet would have at least asked for $100.00. But to mark it for $3.00 doesn't make any sense.

Maybe he wanted it as a present for his wife who is a quilter.... and had been looking for years and years...

Amen------yours is free from some distant neighbor when her mother passed you were the only one she could think of that would love it just as her mother had.
