Hmmm... They show the back of the machine, and no extra pic showing the condition of the cabinet. And they want what :D

It's fairly close, but I think I'll pass on that one.

This one's even closer. What do y'all think? Should I call??? :D:D

(ETA: I did an extra search on the type of machine in this listing. Turns out, some people use them for sewing leather, after modification. But they were made for making boat sails and things like that. Even from shops, the machines were listed for much less.)

8 - 10 years ago you couldn't touch one for that... the price has gone down considerably.

Nother one that "runs like a sewing machine". A good running sewing machine is used quite often to compare machines that serve a totally different purpose too to "enhance" their saleability. Does that tell anything about them. Purrs like a kitten or runs like a sewing machine. Sure do like that Chevy Belair though.

Don't know if this was listed or not. Remember reading it but might of been on our local craigslist where I found it. Got a kick out of it. Don't know prices on antique quilts so can't say if it is out there, or not.

What?? No pictures? I can never figure out how some people post an item for sale and not post a picture.

They want that much and can't even post a picture? I did a quick google search and didn't find anything about Dolly's mother doing quilt appraisals. . . .
