    Well, the title does state that it is 61 feet! :lol: :lol: :lol: [61' Singer Sewing Machine] That must be some huge machine!! 8-) :D (You all know I'm just kidding. Right?? :? ) It's just that I get tickled whenever I see things like that. I once saw a sign at a DQ for "Mother's Day Ice Cream Cakes -- $300 off". I understand not having a decimal point, but at least put a space between the 3 and the first 0!! I had to laugh! Then I thought, "Wow!! They must have really expensive ice cream cakes if you get three-hundred dollars off!!" :shock:

    Perhaps she posted it incorrectly. Meaning $150.00?

    I bought mine for $50.00 at a garage sale.

    What she WANTS and what she gets may be two different amts. but you must keep in mind it is rare! And with niddles and 61' maybe it is actually WORTH that much. Who knows? I'm kidding, too.

    What tipped you off that these are the same? Too bad the Craigslist ad didn't have all the detail of the Worthpoint ad. We wouldn't have had as much fun.
