Did anyone else notice that the highest going machine right now on this site is the Pfaff 130 going for $265? Very interesting -- and I know why -- that Pfaff is an amazing machine! No wonder my Mother would never part with hers -- I will never part with it either!

Look at this machine and the price!

On top of being this polka dot it is a 222. I think I'd like purple, but not sure I could take purple polka dot?

I'm pretty sure I have seen this machine on ebay - perhaps the 'seller' is trying elsewhere because it didn't sell there. I'm not surprised at that price.

For those that can't sell their extra sewing machines and must let them go for whatever reason, you may want to donate to this organization:
http://www.tfsr.org/how_you_can_help...wing_machines/

Or see if there is something like this in the USA that takes donations of vintage sewing machines. Maybe there is some organization that works with this group. I like what they are doing.

This guy lives somewhere near me--which explains why I never see FW machines for a good price!

With out a doubt he ruined this machine.
