Can't quilt with crossed fingers, so if you can cross those toes, I'd be greatly appreciative!!

I just sent an email to a seller on kijiji (like craig's list) for the sweetest little Singer 99. The seller was asking $35 for this little beauty, that appears to be in near perfect condition, in case with original instructions. Seller says she works perfectly. But....the listing is almost a month old. So I emailed to see if this little girl is still available. Ooooh, I want her!!!!

Here's a pic! :)

LOL...I don't blame you!! I'd be sitting on top of my computer, too, and checking every couple minutes or so :thumbup:

Downside is I have to wait until February until the seller can ship her to me, because she's out of town for the month...but the anticipation will make it glorious when she does get here!

It looks to be in quite good condition, hope you get it before someone else. Wishing you luck!

JoyjoyMarie 01-05-2011 06:49 AM

Good luck! That machine looks like the machine I sewed on from '65 to '76 when I got my Bernina 830. My sister had bought it used in the 50s, then I got it from her when she upgraded to a Viking. Man- such old memories you're bringing up! The case tipped me off, because I remember lugging that thing around. have a good time!

jbj137 01-05-2011 09:19 AM

That same machine was on
Craigslist a few weeks ago.

It was reported as SOLD.

BE CAREFUL it could be a SCAM.

Tweety2911 01-05-2011 02:17 PM

Okay, fingers, toes and eyes are crossed just incase it wasn't sold. Good Luck! Hope it doesn't turn out to be a scam.

dixiechunk 01-05-2011 05:38 PM

I love the 99s and this one is a beauty.

annette1952 01-06-2011 12:10 AM

auntiehenno 01-06-2011 01:08 AM

Good luck!

butterflies5518 01-06-2011 06:56 PM

wow - great buy congratulations!

anicra 01-06-2011 10:48 PM

Good luck, I hope by now the 99 is yours. I just picked up a 99 which I named Elizabeth Rutherford (she's a little matronly compared to my featherweight named Betsy). I got mine for $50 with the table. I need to oil Elizabeth and check her out before I get down to earnestly sewing with her. Let us kow how you like her!!

amma 01-09-2011 11:07 AM

Congratulations!! :D:D:D

jojo47 01-12-2011 09:24 AM

Congratulations! Looking forward to more pics when you get her home!

cheri stonespinner 03-10-2011 02:28 PM

All of you featherweight girls are making me want one now. I like the idea of a tough machine that I can take to sewing get togethers since "Mishka" is too heavy (don't tell her I said that!) She feels like 50 pounds!
