~~~The sellers in my area actually have machines listed in this price range~~~

The orange FW is still listed on CL here. He still wants 700.00 for it. LOL

How about this one on CL ladies. While they do not title it antique or vintage, I think it may be gold plated!

We need a separate thread for our "laugh of the day" where we can post all the silliness.

I agree with that one. I lurk at Craigs List a lot and I am constantly amazed with the prices people want for their machines in our area. Who is going to start the thread?????

It was a great article. I hate it when I see 1970s sewing machines on eBay listed as Antique. Really???? Too bad the people who would learn something by this article will most likely never see it.

And if you note how the information is typed in, you can see this is not a real intelligent person.

Great article, Charlee. Thank you for sending the link, I think I'll put it on my watch list.

Good article and so true, with the listings seen on eBay, CraigsList, and Kijiji up here in Canada. I also really like the ones that brand sewing machines as "heavy-duty" and "industrial strength". All I can think of are drain cleaners!

OMG! I payed $22.00 for mine just like that (including the cabinet)! However I'm willing to pay up to $150 for one for my apprentice. $850 outrageous!
