wow 5000 must gold dipped

They spelled "antique" wrong.......LOL

Maybe the money is for a really good spell check program.

Well it is an "ANTIGUE" What did you expect?!?!?!?!

Yeah, ANTIGUE's are VERY rare around here!!! LOL

You gotta be kidding..... :?

Jan in VA

:shock: Come on, it "ONLY" 5,000.00 because it needs work.:shock:

What a deal :lol:

It comes with a book too!

roflol I though I did good at $100.00 for my universal and it worked fine it went to a quilt shop in Ohio

and not even a picture of this glorious ANTIGUE!!!!!!

WOW someone thinks ALOT of this
My husband is a knife collector. He told me that he once heard a conversation like this. Owner of an item asking a seller - 'how much is my knife worth'? Vendor's answer - 'it depends on what side of the table you are sitting on'. It's worth a lot more to the person selling it than it is to the person wanting to buy it.

Some people think that just because it's old, it's worth a lot. It amazes me that some will try to sell something and not even clean it up and make it look presentable. That's just my thinking, though.

My 1st thought was maybe they could take some spelling lessons with part of the $5,000.00! LOL

The first question that pops into my mind about that ad is: ARE THEY ON DRUGS OR WHAT!!!!!!! lol

Maybe they don't type well either and didn't put a period in and meant $50.00 or $500.00??? :roll:

If they didn't use a 'q' in antique, I bet they didn't use the decimal point in $50.00! Wonder whose doing their income taxes this year?

in their dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, you don't get a pic with it? you could buy a long are for that lol

You'd think that for the asking price they would at least post a picture of the the $5,000 machine that needs a minor adjustment.

And I thought the one advertised here for $500. was overly optimistic!!! Don't understand why they think these are so valuable. Especially the ones that "need work", "no power cord, can't tell if it works", "can't thread it, but looks like it should work". Hello!!! Guess they think we were born yesterday or have money to burn!!

Do they really think they can find someone dumb enough to spend $5000 on something that they cannot even see. Sounds like a replay of that fairy tale" The Emperor's New Clothes".

Seems like they really don't want to sell it very bad.

OMG I am in shock :!: :!: :shock: :shock:

even $500.00 would be too much....

either that or they don't know quilter's will know it's not a good deal.

Now do you see why I don't shop in Nashville?!

wow that is amazing I wonder how an people are lined up to see that achine lol

now sum of yous r jus mean. The man or ladie got to mak a livin like uz all and not ever1 is an artiz. I thik we should respec the saler. If u don wan or cannot by cuz uv $$$ issues, then done be hatin on those who no finer thinz in life.

thatz how i wuz brout up to treet otherz

Yikes, hope I dont make any spelling mistakes LOL.

Wishful thinking...

That has GOT to be a typo!

I bet maybe it belonged to Minnie Pearl and it had a $50 price tag on it and this person has the shakes and hit the 0 and it skipped, or not.

This all reminds me of when my sons were teenagers and became "beer can collectors". My middle son was about to go in the army and I insisted he get rid of the beer cans or I was going to put them in the trash. He went on about how valuable some of them were. My comment was then why don't you sell them to that person who is willing to spend that much money on an empty beer can. A friend of his ended up buying them for 50 cents each. It's only valuable if someone is willing to spend that much for it. Kinda like buying Elvis's stinky blue suede shoes. :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:

LOL!

Maybe they should just keep it. Sounds like it is more valuable to them than anyone else. lol

WOW!

Could you repeat that please? lol

Teheheheehe!

ROFLOL

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Well, let's see what the person has to say. I just emailed him/her for more information and pictures and asked if the price was accurate. I would almost bet that this is a scam and they are trying to get email addresses to start sending viruses and infecting computers. This is how they do it!! Don't ask me how I know, ASK MY HUSBAND!!!!!
