Same seller from Porter. Instead of Where's Waldo, it's "Where's the Singer?"

Singer 1900 Sewing Machine w Floor Pedal Shelf - $995 (Porter) http://images.craigslist.org/00X0X_1...Gzw_50x50c.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/00H0H_9...XxD_50x50c.jpg

Original all parts with dark wood cabinet and full metal floor shelf pedal. Must see to appreciate. $995. Items in storage hard to photograph but will gladly show. 918.557.8944

Wouldn't take much for the machine to be in better shape but no matter how good it ain't worth the BIG $$$$$$$$$$$

Very old singer sewing machine (Tulsa Area) Very old Singer sewing machine. But negotiable on price. .

Selling my moms sewing machine - it is very very old, but is in mint condition on the machine itself.
Cabinet needs some TLC, but is not damaged. Restoration would be very easy.

Getting way too many fake requests to remove ad from Craigslist... it will never be removed till it is sold.
Any request to remove it will also be ignored. However I will consider anyone who shows up to look at it
as priority. Those who are wanting to buy it without even looking at it must be fake efforts as I also wont
sell blindly to anybody either. you will have to pick it up, there will be no effort to deliver or ship it.
Will sooner keep it forever than go thru all of that.

Am considering restoration, but hoping to find value on this.
Estimated per seeing similar for $850 minimum as is, or $1500 if restored.

Must be cash only, and you must pick up.
You can test it all you want where it is in the garage.
Negotiable though. Any request for delivery or non-cash. will be ignored.
Now is the time to get a very high quality Singer Sewing machine that needs some TLC.
This unit is in a lot better condition than similar newer ones that sold for a lot more.


Serious inquires only... Will consider taking it to auction when restored, and I already know it well sell for more there.. But thats next year, Im selling some of my stuff to help on cash to help put more $$ down on a new house.

Picture to be provided asap.

HHHMMMMMM false advertising? Good deal though. I wonder if it works to advertize like that?

What a nut job!! What is the deal with people going on so much about "serious enquiries only"? Is that a CL thing?

What's with the cutting board?

I figure you couldn't see the lettering on the treadle clearly against the floor, so they grabbed whatever was closest that was a light colour! .... OR.... they went all the way back into the house to go and find the perfect thing because they thought it was really important, which would be even weirder ;)
