Motivated seller but not a motivated photographer...

Oh who needs pictures everybody knows what a sewing machine looks like... LOL

I replied to a Craigslist Ad for

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/art/3997643971.html

This is what I received back.!! I have read it 3 times and still do not fully understand the message he is trying to convey. I can not even imagine what communication with this guy would be like in person.



The machine belongs to a friend of mine that does not have a computer ! If u call the # I listed he can send some pics to u on ur cell phone ! His name is Kevin ! I CERN the machines and they need a good home ? The machine u want is made of metal ! No plastic parts or pieces on it at all ! It looked like it was in very good condition for its age ! I'm sure tha by the looks of it it was made in the 50's or sixties ! It told him that it was a highly sought after machine for some one interested in sewing heavy materials dot to the fact it had all steal gears and a good motor and heavy belt ! I hand opiated it from the rear ! It all moveced as it should ! It was mint condition ! Call keven ! He is good guy ! He will Probobly give u both machines if u buy the first one listed ! They even had the original foot pedals ! The steal machine was in a nice table aswell ! He will give u good deal if u give them good home ! Tom ! If that is not what you are looking for I have a nice singer ! But it is so old it has no revers ! But it is mint ! It has every thing ! Lower bobbin needle pedal in full operational order ! But I want $100 ! It was made in 1821 !

Maybe when they said that "you would be hard pressed to find one in this condition for this price" they meant no one else is selling a dirty machine without a case or cabinet for this much money.:p

Brunswick Girl - I laughed and tears came out of my eyes. Honestly, that was just hilarious. Every precious word. I am still giggling.

Still, looks like you could bargain a few Necchis for a good deal from 'keven'. He is, after all, a good guy. ;-)

Miriam, what does the 'sboc' portion of that mean?

LOLOLOL! ... at all of it, but this bit really unravelled me :)

Just found this one in our hemisphere. Interesting to look at if nothing else. $2,800 anyone?

$5,500 for this one. Obviously planning to purchase new camera equipment.

This seller should be slapped. . .

I cannot stop laughing. Opiate suppositories? Do they calm the machine down?

Well don't forget this one. At least the $100 asking price is negotiable.

At first site of that one I thought it was a little railroad steam engine! It has so many spool holders it made me dizzy..

overpriced, but beautiful handcrank...

Oh! those huge handwheels make my heart go pitter pat! Good thing I'm no where near SF, I might overpay for it.

yep....

check these...

Antique? http://lynchburg.craigslist.org/atq/3954030279.html

Really good deal if you are close to this....

Linda, Wine is the answer for you and for me, but this guy is so hooked on opiates that he even uses them on the rear of the machine. I notice that he uses the word "steal" freely. I wonder if that is how he gets his opiates or if he plans to "steal" from the buyer of his "1821" machine.

Donna (we make our own wine...come on over for a sample)

Is that what they are charging or what they will pay you to take it off of their hands?

If I was closer......

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/art/3977237503.html ~ I am close enough but I already have 2 of these. Good price on this.

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/atq/4004896312.html ~ He is dreaming!!

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/atq/4003953392.html ~ Another dreamer.

That is a good price for a 503! The rest are trying to scam somebody

Yes great price and I'd be tempted except I've already bought 2 new to me machines this week plus I have 2 503s already.

wow... just wow...
http://goldcountry.craigslist.org/atq/3991241968.html

Is that a good or a bad wow?

Good wow on the machine
Bad wow on the price.

Whatzit?

I'd guess a 99

http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/atq/3996473421.html
I'm liking this

kind of a big cabinet but it has the little extension to make the bed hole shorter - you might be right

I'd say 99 also. I love finding them with the cabinets made to fit. First time I've seen that particular cabinet with a 99 inside. Stool does not match though . . .

The seller states "you have to see it to appreciate it". Would have been nice if he/she had supplied a picture. . .

An antique vintage barely used Stinger sowing machine with a foot pedal and big ole honking light. It might work. Oh wait, it did when my great grandma last used it 25 years ago. :D:D:D:D:D

at that price it better be so pretty it hurts your eyes

How's this for information overload?

I'm, uuhhmmm, underwhelmed by their disclosures!
