Advice on Machine Values - Aberdeen Scotland
Hi Ladies and Gents. I have need to de-clutter and sell on machines I never use
Husquvarna Quilt 983 - i think that's the right model. Used for 5 months when I moved onto a Janome 12000. This is all boxed up just wasted. Singer Featherweight 222K - in pristine condition with full accessories and carry case. Been owned by the same family since purchased. Has had some light use. Been serviced. Singer 221K - centenary edition. Was a gift bought from Canada by a generous relative. Arrived newly serviced but had a really foul smell. The carry case was dismantled as i tried to get rid of the stench which i found quite nauseating. I have cleaned up the machine and after several weeks enclosed in a sealed bag with coffee granules etc the smell surrounding the machine has gone. A Babylock embellisher with carry case. Used twice. Dont think im creative enough to make anything with it. Been bagged up and stored since first week i got it. I've never sold on anything before and i would appreciate any advice aboutv what would be a reasonable price to sell these on for. Thank you. Any input appreciated. |
I would go to ebay and type in your models to see what they are selling for

What is your mental outlook on declutterring? By that I mean, are you hoping/planning to make a killing? Or recognizing you have gotten your money's worth out of all the machines and letting them go to another stitcher, no strings attached ;)
The little Sngers were made in Kilbowie, Clydebank, even after all this time they may be readily available to stitchers there where they are more uncommon here, so less dollar value, but more sentimental value? We can find them here when lucky for $25.00 sometimes, the general pricing runs 350.-400.00. Maybe place an add for $250.00 in the Pound equivalent? Selling online means shipping which when done well is satisfactory but takes a lot of time to do right. Let us know what you decide and the outcome, Lots of decluttering/downsizing goes on here ;) and we take inspiration from other's successes. |
I would go to my local sewing machine store and ask if they would sell the machines on consignment or outright buy them from you. You won’t get a high price for them, but it will be a simple sale with no hassle. Also, if you belong to a quilt guild, you might inquire to see if other members might be interested.

The 222 would be worth a lot though.

Omg, I've seen 222's go for a lot on Ebay!!!
|
How old is your Husqvarna? Doesn’t seem to be a current model, so that would dictate how much you would get for it. 222k I paid £90 for mine on eBay, fully working recently serviced and decals in good shape.
