I refer to that as the "I don't want to sell this yet" price. I have even told an Antique store manager that when quoted a silly price. They start to claim to be "experts" then I pulled out my tablet and showed them my collection with the comment "I am pretty sure I have a handle on the market for these...."

At currently $42 with 3 days left this is the same machine as the modern sphinx for $2000. I noticed the Goodwill machine had no serial number and looked into this some more and found that another eBay seller was offering this machine as a 1973 authentic Singer reproduction.
While you can forgive the folks at Goodwill for not knowing what they are selling, the guy/woman who posted hers for $2000 should know better.

Makes one wonder if the seller realizes what has happened to this poor machine and case.
