I agree with QuiltnCowgirl - some people are just lucky - and these types of great finds never happen here in Rhode Island either. At least, not to me - darn!

Oh, lucky girl!! Those 2 vintage Singers alone are worth about $50 each, so you are getting a GREAT deal!! And the vintage ones are certainly worth working on to get them operating. The others, maybe not so much...depends on what's wrong. They have plastic innards, so chances are more to fix than worth.

If the newer ones are not an easy fix but still fixable, I may just offer them as a P.I.F. for the cost of shipping as I really don't have the room for all 4 machines. I just wanted the 2 older ones :) and couldn't pass up the price for them all. |

Wanted to update on the bargain that I got.
First the bad news, I did not get the machines. We got lost on the way and couldn't find the place so hubby gave up and we headed home. The guy said if they don't sell by next month when they go to visit their son, they will bring the machines along and drop them off to me on the way. So there is a chance I still may get them. Good news: Made out like a bandit on the fabric. The lady cleaned more rooms out and found more boxes of fabric and added them to the four boxes she already told me about ...AND for the same price quote she said ($16.00 for all). Plus the $8.00 for the quilting frame. The frame is old, the shipping date on the box is from 3/33/1983. I don't know if it's all there for sure as I have not taken it out of the box yet. She said it was and it's in the original box. There were a total of 8 boxes, plus the frame. I managed to get it all crammed into 4 boxes to save room. Man are they packed full... and heavy. Alot of it is "scraps" but there are some yardage fabrics. Some of the fabric though I won't be able to use for quilts, it's silk, velvet, lacey stuff and upholstery fabric. There's a few patterns and lots of spools of lace. Anyway, here is a few pictures of the goodies 3 of the 4 Boxes (after downsizing from 8 boxes) [ATTACH=CONFIG]240118[/ATTACH] 4 Patch Scrappy in the works [ATTACH=CONFIG]240119[/ATTACH] 1 box of 1.5 squares and 1 box of 2 squares [ATTACH=CONFIG]240120[/ATTACH] Another Scrappy in the works, GFG [ATTACH=CONFIG]240121[/ATTACH] More Scrappy WIPs [ATTACH=CONFIG]240122[/ATTACH] |
