Not exactly "Free". Must be some currency conversion rate between here and there...

this just hurts to the CORE...

I have seen hundreds of the "treadle irons turned into a table" but this is a set of Florence Fancy Leg Irons.

complete these sell for over $1000 easily....

What a sucker punch when I saw the picture! 3 1/2 hours away, and I have property taxes to pay Thursday. Crud.

Sucker Punch is right! I remember the gorgeous one someone posted a while back. This is a tragedy!

Good deal for someone local....

that is a really nice looking SM! If I stumbled upon it, not sure I could say "no"

darn, if only i got good better-half support, i'll be all over this one. that's why you guys are so lucky that you can just jump in your car and tell your better half that you're off to get a sewing machine and they will just smile. in fact, they will even go with you.:) me, i once told her that i am picking up a FREE sewing machine and i got that eagle eyed look from her. it's free, what more if i have to pay......oh well.... :(

Since it's Me, Myself, and I living here I can have all the machines I can afford. That's the kicker.

shudder..... "Rare Singer, worth the price...."

might need to drown both the Singer and the seller in a bucket of diet Cola.

and here's a $1,000 MACHINE .

HHHMMMM I wonder what they could do with a crush and sow - hey it is already boxed up ready to ship...

They aren't that far out of touch - well maybe by 10 years - back then you paid a lot more for one.

i was curious so i emailed the seller and he lowered the price to $75. said that's the lowest they can go. would have been better but...

Miriam! I see Miriam! Missed you! Where have you been?

She's been in Florida. Welcome back Miriam, we've noticed your absence.
That Singer 73 is a serious machine indeed. Used to sew leather suitcases, apparently.

I was vacationing in the arctic Florida sunshine weather - in other words - we went camping.

I actually like that stuff.

Pretty neat.

especially if the machine was too far gone to save.

hard to argue these aren't neat:

It's not like there isn't enough old machines that are past being usable out there. I think it's a neat use of something that would have ended up in a landfill...

:)

Wow! That is a great deal….

"You want "WHAT?". too, too funny.,…

groan...... oh... the humanity...... lol

It's been relisted at the original asking price. I am quite close to New Baden, wonder if I could get a pickup discount?

so smart. hopefully those are not usable machines otherwise not smart at all.

saw this one too, nice looking machine, looks like a industrial model?

Edmonton is out to lunch, I haven't even seen this many over priced machines on Calgary Kijiji adds. These people are going to have these for a while at these prices.

It's a 31K, made in 1916 (so not yet an antique). They are known as the tailor's machine. Perfect if you make clothing.

Exactly what Mike said. I'd love to get my hands on a nice industrial. My neighbor alone could probably keep it in constant use with the projects he asks me to do on my quilting machine. :rolleyes:

Edmonton is often out to lunch for prices. My 2 best deals so far have come out of near Calgary, or at least further south than Edmonton. I haven't even posted this week's wishful thinkers. ;). And yet, I struggle to liquidate fully serviced machines here.

Though I should mention that it was a Calgary ad that I saw for someone parting out a Singer accessories box for $20 a piece. Last year I think. :D

I need to find a bobbin winder like that one has. It mounts onto the “boss” of the machine and runs on the balance wheel rim. That would come in handy on “JR”, my Singer 31-15 Treadle. It’s the first one that I’ve seen like that, so thanks for posting the link.

if anybody wants an all metal parts machine for a measly $100 and NO it is NOT my ad.

Welcome back Miriam ;)

OK, this one's been sitting in my browser for a few days:
http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=563001164

99K in a cabinet - $600.

I showed it to DH, and he said "YEAAAHHHH!!!" because we have one in the basement (older 99, but the cabinet is the same) with bonus stool that I paid $25 for last summer. It needed some maintenance (veneer glued back down, drawer reattached, screws tightened, etc), and this was the ad that made it take place... so I echo his "YEAAAHHHH!" because there's one less project hanging over my head now. :)

OK, the "list" arrived late... here is this weekend's comedy section:

http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=563713890 - Industrial Irons
http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=563743539 - Another ultra valuable 127 with a plain cabinet
http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=563886189 - This one's more sad than anything. I get that the light is bad this time of year, but why take Wood furniture outside in the snow to shoot pictures of it? It's destructive, especially because you know they don't want it, how well do you think they wiped the moisture off when / if it came back in...
http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=563980913 - An Eaton's machine, possibly rarer than the Singers they comment on but still not worth that much, not here. (Lots of Electric Singers but no treadles? I can come up with probably a dozen in Edmonton and area on Kijiji alone) It's a gorgeous cabinet though.

typo or opinion? Junki Sewing machine

This one comes with detachments!
http://dayton.craigslist.org/atq/4298905474.html

Singer 31-15 Direct Drive - No Clutch. Pressing on the treadle plate tips a board that the motor is mounted on to tighten the belt, and coil springs then tip the board & motor back when releasing the treadle plate.

An interesting setup. (No, it's not mine.)
