    No clue how they came up with the date - they are only off 40 -50 years, so I guess that's close enough.

    I looked on eBay - they are selling for $25-$50 range, for nicer looking machines. Fully serviced sells for around $100. Wonder if they have a different eBay they are looking at. . .
    I have one in mint condition with the tags from when it was new still on it AND it is very light weight........ it does say Domestic, though - I'd be overjoyed to get that kind of price...

    That seller is just dreamin'. This guy, however, is delusional:

    I like how they used the words "Unique", "Vintage", "Mid Century", "Modern" & "Contemporary" all in the descriptive header for a chrome coffee table. . . And the $349 price tag on the blue vintage White sewing machine!

    I skimmed their website pricing. I'm not impressed.

    ok, on the other side of things.....

    This nice lady listed her Transverse Pfaff Treadle WITH attachments for $300
    http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/atq/4558085214.html
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]482094[/ATTACH]
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]482095[/ATTACH]

    I started to talk to her about buying it, but backed out because of finances. (Party and new Florence Treadle)

    Today I received this:
    "I would like to donate the sewing machine to you. I checked out your website and know the machine would have a great "home". Let me know when you would like to pick it up."

    WOW! I suggested to her to let it sit for a week to see if she can make some $$ first. If that does not work, I will pick it up but give her money in a month or so when I can.
