If you do, I want that repainted, missing slideplate machine and will offer $15.01. But only if they deliver it for free from Maryland to Illinois and not strapped to a pallet either. That sounds about as reasonable as the price. And also provide an explanation on how you can drive a sewing machine to church on Sundays.

SteveH and Grant15clone, you both have made my day! I bow out to your $15.01 bid. Too rich for my blood...

Man! I just LOVE this topic! It makes me smile and/or laugh every day! Thanks to all who contribute!

I hope the church is close enough for a 100 ft extension cord. Maybe if I convert it to one of those tractor sewing, or sowing machines...
Some make me laugh too. Some make me want to cry, but never a dull moment here.
I am glad I was able to brighten your day.

This one amuses me. It's "The Bruce".

This Craig's List ad is just amazingly condescending in how its worded. It can all be yours for a mere $950!

I am NOT adding this Singer to my collection, NO WAY! (I'd like to have one though....)

I bet it runs like a sewing machine.

I went ahead and insulted them, since they didn't refrain from insulting me with that price, and the lame attempt at justifying it.

Oh, and over-inflated eBay prices don't constitute any sort of appraisal, especially when it isn't even a comparable machine.
