Here is a Singer I found on Craigslist. They want $50, is that a good deal?

YES....very good!

Buy it,i would.No i wouldn't i have to many machines as it is.

Yes but go ahead and offer less. I'd offer $30 and probably settle on $40.

Its a pretty machine!

$50 would be a little high for me; $30 would be more reasonable. I would want to know what condition the cords are in, though; I don't like having to fool around with the electrical components. I would also expect the bobbin case to be included (replacements cost about $25 online) and the machine to actually sew.

Oops! I see it's a handcrank. I might pay $50 for a handcrank. It looks like it's a handcrank that has been "updated" for electrical use as well. $40 would be better.

Is this a hand-crank machine? I paid around $200 for mine. I think it's a good deal. Singers are workhorses!

I would because I have never had a hand crank machine.

I would just for my collection of old stuff!

You need to grab that now. Yes it is a great deal. I use to be an antique dealer (years ago). I had one of those that sold for $300. It didn't have a cabinet either. The handcrank (which is what I had) is the one that sold for that. A friend of mine had the treadle that sold for $350.00.

I emailed the seller. She said it needs to be rewired.

For me, this machine would be $30 max (and my dh would be able to do the rewiring for me).

I think paying the $50.00 would be a great price for it. Cutting people down on prices would not be for me, can't take the money with you when you leave this Earth and they may need the money more than you.
Just the way I live my life.

There are alot out there! I agree 50 isnt bad but I would offer 30.00

wow
