$5.00 Yard Sale Find!
 
Went to a yards ale today, saw a sewing machine stand, walked over to it and it had a price tag of $5.00, thought to myself there is no way that there is a sewing machine inside the stand but curiosity got the best of me so I opened the top of the stand and lifted out a pretty nice looking singer 99!!!!!!!!! I approached the lady having the sale and told her that I would take the machine but that I did not need the stand she said ok and I came home with a machine that only needs a little cleaning and a belt, guess you could say that I scored!

Love to see a picture... Sounds like a steal...

Way to go!!!

Oh! If she still has it, go back and get the table. The little 3/4 tables are harder to find and the hinge spacing is different so you can't put a little one into a regular cabinet

I too would have grabbed the table. Might as well complete the steal.

I agree. I got a Spartan (stripped down 99) in a cabinet for ninety-nine cents but the cabinet was modified to fit the 99 ... and it wasn't well done. I'd love to have a cabinet for my 99.

Wonderful find! Would you be able to go back and get the cabinet? The 3/4 sized will also fit the cute little green 185.

You scored..Congrats...

Hope you went back and retrieved the cabinet.

I would have taken the table, too. You never know when you might have a need for it - and there's always CList if you don't want it.

I'll ride that bandwagon! Count me in on encouraging you to pick it up!
