Sweet mother of gawd, what IS she smoking? I seriously want to know--it's been a rough week, and I'd love to know how she pulled $250 as a fair price for those heavily damaged machines and tables.

dang..SHE wins...doper of the year award....wow...

I dunno Jacquie... this one comes pretty close!

http://boise.craigslist.org/hsh/2884355240.html

This one has been listed over and over for MONTHS! It started at $1200...it's come down...
http://boise.craigslist.org/hsh/2903644318.html

Try not to jump on this one too fast...

And! You can own a "trendle" sewing machine! One of a kind for sure...has to be, because I've never heard of a "trendle" before!

Ok, ok! My turn! When I saw the pics, I said, "That's not a sewing machine"! http://tricities.craigslist.org/atq/2881943560.html
It might have been once upon a time but it's not anymore!

These are not as good as the first one, but worth a looksie: http://tricities.craigslist.org/atq/2821637643.html & http://tricities.craigslist.org/atq/2821642355.html

And for $1, you can't beat this: http://tricities.craigslist.org/atq/2878622864.html

Not a machine, but I'm sure you'll giggle anyway: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/hsh/2910368349.html What a deal! I feel like a pro for paying $.05 for the last one I got.. but it wasn't vintage. Maybe I'll hang on to it so I can sell it on CL some day!

Good lord and butter! The local Habitat sells patterns for a nickel apiece, or 25 for $1.00. I guess I've got a fortune stashed away, in the form of old patterns!

Maybe it WAS really used as a boat anchor. I think that poor thing is beyond hope :eek:

Oh My! I could be rich! ROTFL I have vintage patterns dating back to 1920's, still in the mail order envelopes with the 2 cent stamps! Sure the stamps are worth more than the patterns!

Love this one. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/art/2922537402.html I have no idea why they think "it should sell for $300" would make me buy it. The nasty tone of the posting makes me want it even more. Not.

I picked up mine from a garage sale for $10.
