    I've seen that before, too. I also got one that looked VERY new - the tension spring was not set right.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have some new Craig's List ads showing rusty machines for outrageous prices.

    http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4152767484.html
    No machine shown, but just the cabinet and apparently it has implements: http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4101180571.html
    The cabinet is in poor condition, they want $250: http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4135703333.html
    machine rusted and it can be yours for a mere $200! :http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4119215899.html
    Singer red eye that's rusted and the cabinet has a large burn on the top:http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4111948527.html

    They obviously can't make up their mind which model it is and for that price I would expect the table and a whole lot more.

    This one has come up before. They have a description for the 500a farther down in the ad.
