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. ;-)
