"Nostalgia sewing machine... Very rare to find." ...... and so are those powerful drugs!
This one's all the better for being a copy: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/punch...ion/1028024446

Let's start with the assertion that they're the only resale shop in the country.

Of course she won't be happy with it! I'd rather a FW hanging in my pouch vs a full sized machine, aluminum or not!! I may see if I can liquidate before she arrives. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. ;)


Sometimes I'm such a bag. I actually emailed this one:
http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...AdIdZ536059741 - "I am selling my Bernina Industrial Sewing Machine . It is about 30 yrs old but still working strong. It is a zig zag 217. Worth over $2000 asking at least that much"

"just a hint. When pricing a sewing machine, it's useful to search ebay using the option to see completed auctions.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bernina-217-...item4d102d3e5d - $599

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BERNINA-MODE...item4d118e083b - $599

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chandler-217...item5d44f6d906 - under $200

I think that "at least" $2000 might be a hard sell. "

My son pointed out on the hand carved wooden pants one "they should have gone for Levi's instead of Old Navy with that".

That has to be one of the fugliest cabinets I've ever seen.

Well ... I like that style cabinet. I like it better in blonde...but I like the curves.

"Singer sewing machine. Vintage. I just sanded and repainted the iron legs. I have vin number for people looking who are serious. Asking $200 or best offer."

I wonder if they have a clear title?

Lew Schiller 10-23-2013 02:42 PM

The purchase price is one thing but then there's tax, license and insurance!
