I found this on craigslist under general on sunday morning around 5am. emailed the man and texted also. no response. the ad said keep calling until he answered so I was thinking it might be a scam...couldn't get it out of my mine so finally called at 7:30 and asked is he still had the machine and he said yes so I said I can come right now and get it. he was in bed and going to call back...yea right still thinking it was a scam so went about my morning and low and behold the phone rang and I ran right over. $60 and it is mine.

WOW!!!
Major score. Enjoy it!


But, on further thought, I think the most amazing thing is you actually got a call back from CL seller. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

We are all blessed at times and this was one of your times - happy sewing :)

gsbuffalo 05-19-2011 05:44 AM

it runs very good. haven't had much time to actually work with it. just bought a husqvarna viking and going to take a class tuesday so will be learning it and then setting the feathweight up so I can use it this summer outside when I am in the garage sewing. we are outside most of the summer so this machine will be great for me to still be sewing all summer long. family issues has kept me from sewing but after next week watch out. charge on! O and forgot to add I am Blessed everyday and thanks for the great comments.

MoMiMi 05-19-2011 05:46 AM

What a super buy! She sure is a cutie and looks to be in great shpe. It amazes me how many FW there are out there. Seems eventually everyone gets one that wants one. I would love to have one like that AND for that price! Bet that brightened your day big time!

auntiehenno 05-19-2011 08:42 AM

The wihite Singers are really more expensive than they black, you got a very good deal. Congrats.

gsbuffalo 05-19-2011 08:45 AM

funny story about the price on this machine. The guy told me it was his mothers and his wife didn't want it. He said if it would of been a black one he would of put it on ebay because they bring more money. are you kidding me! well it will not be bringing anymore more then what I paid for it as I intend to use it. I gladly handed him the money and ran...

Deara 05-19-2011 08:50 AM

Wow, you certainly were blessed with your red letter white featherweight.

Enjoy your blessing.

sueisallaboutquilts 05-19-2011 12:47 PM

That guy was really misguided- the white ones sell for more than the black ones as a rule.
You did GREAT! (as you already know lol)
