You did great!!!! I have not seen too many white ones.

gmaybee 05-20-2011 04:20 AM

Wonderful that you found this. I have a black one and am now looking for a white one and a green one.

Annaquilts 05-20-2011 04:21 AM

That is a steal for a white one. Enjoy!!!

CONGRATS! My Baby (see my avatar) was excited to find out she has a new cousin - have you named her yet? You got one of the best deals on a white FW that I have ever heard of! Happy FW sewing!

Wow, you got an excellent deal. I got mine off of e-bay and paid 261.00 and was happy to get it. No regrets, but you certainly got a good deal.

ambquilter 05-20-2011 06:03 AM

He didn't check ebay very well. The white ones always go for more. Lucky you!!!!!!!

Good for you, sometimes it pays to be persistant.

Sandra in Minnesota 05-20-2011 10:40 AM

You got a wonderful bargain, and she is just beautiful! Now she needs a name.

nwm50 05-20-2011 10:40 AM

BOY, u do not want to hear what i said!! LOL
That is an beautiful machine and you practically stole it! So glad u found it. Im waiting on one now to see if i can get one for $100 closeby....wants $250 but the cord doesn't match, has the green colored (replacement) cord and the case is pretty worn but it's an 1 owner machine. Pray for me! I had already brought one earilier in the yr for $30 w/attachments but need 1 more either blackor white for an beneficiary wishlist to granddaughters. Have fun with that jewel ....

LoriMcc 05-20-2011 11:50 AM

Your persistence paid off! :)

Loretta 05-20-2011 12:55 PM

Great deal. Looks like it may have been taken care of.

sewnbug 05-20-2011 12:58 PM

There was one last week on our Craigslist for $50 but I never heard back from the seller. I figured I wouldn't.

aronel 05-20-2011 02:26 PM

Wow!! Great Price!! Great machine!! I'm jealous.

Phyl 05-20-2011 03:14 PM

Okay. You made me feel a little better.
I went looking the other day and a guy in an antique barn said he had one.
Condition?
Good
Around$????
They run around $200ish. I haven't sold any for a while.
How can I see it?
I'll bring it in etc....
So, I traveled back the 30 miles and planned on coming back to see it in a few days.
Traveled today, the thirty miles.(and another thirty miles home, in the POURING rain!)
IT WAS THERE!!!! BUT.............$275 and $20 tax.
Let's bargain.
No. Come on. You said $200ish. I am willing to go up to $225
No. $275 and $20 tax. no movement....
How about $250?
No. $275 and $20 tax.
$275.
No. $275 and $20 tax.
I simply felt I was being taken advantage of. He should have at least gone to $250, afterall, NO ONE HAS BEEN INTERESTED but as soon as I showed interest, he figured he had me.
I let it go.
I KNOW! I KNOW! I WANT IT BUT...
I'll play the game and since it is the beginning of the garage sale season, I will keep it in mind.
He has my number. I have his.
I'm dying to have it........but there are too many out there not to give it a chance.
$60? sigh................enjoy it and love it being a bargain on top of a joy.

AnnT 05-20-2011 03:45 PM

How nice! Looks like a winner. Enjoy!

brushandthimble 05-20-2011 04:06 PM

Oh how sweet!! I want a white one, someday:)

pjnesler 05-20-2011 04:28 PM

Beautuful! luv it!

harrishs 05-20-2011 06:18 PM

Wow! What a deal! Good for you!

sewbizgirl 05-20-2011 06:33 PM

The white ones go for around $500. They are rarer and harder to find.

olebat 05-20-2011 06:46 PM

Awesome! I've developed a pen-pal sort of friendship with a cl seller. His wife has been collecting vintage, and is cleaning out. We have so much in common. I can't wait to get out of this hospital and go see her collection. I hope they have a little jewel like that in their collection. He isn't listing anything else until I have a chance to go see them. we've been e-mailing for hours. Funny, It started out he thought I was the CL wierdo.

Auntie B 05-20-2011 07:54 PM

Ah yes, she is a little beauty. What is her name? Auntie B

danece 05-20-2011 08:48 PM
