These are the changes I see that need to be made in their ad:

For sale a nice Singer sewing machine , early model 66 , heavy duty,not a hand crank,"Red Eye" decal, from 1920 serial #G8166395.

I can't verify if the serial number is what they say it is. Can anyone find any other errors in this listing? ;)

I had my jolt at a young age (around 5-8 years old) when I put my finger in a wall light socket.....I also can't resist collecting sewing machines...................;)

"Slide plate obviously missing", "Machine is domestic, not heavy duty"
I think that people say "Wow! This is heavy" and think "Hmm.. the word 'duty' seems to flow nicely after that, so I'll add it".

not a sewing machine but I betcha they think it runs like one...
and I think we have about 3 in the back yard that don't look any better...

Cool! Made by the folks that made the REO Speed Wagon.

"With a little work this mower will run!" - I'm not too sure of that.

collect old mowers as a hobby...hmmm...sit down and sew sounds relaxing. Go outside and mow? sounds like noisy work, no thanks. Not relaxing. AH-CHOO!

To each his own I suppose. Certainly not my cuppa either.

I haven't tried doing this before , so I hope it works.

Yep, it worked! In my opinion, that was gross...
