I was just reading some of these to my husband...he wants me to list a couple of my machines...he said " There are bound to be a fool that would pay these prices." I better make sure to inventory my machines...good thing is that he doesn't know where the 221 is located, or that the cabinet that holds my embroidery machine actually has a machine in it.
Thanks Charlee...these gave me a very much needed laugh...ROFL...

Here's a model 15 "Red Eye" (Actually, they are open to offers, might need to try to rescue it and turn it into a hand crank. Any idea of what to offer? http://rochester.craigslist.org/atq/2732838452.html

And for $100 - take your pick a wooden ironing board (maybe I shouldn't have sold mine at my yard sale!) He has had this listed and relisted for more than one year!

or you could have a Davis treadle

or a New Home for $40

(who wouldn't rather have the old ironing board?)

I have the same machine, new one today. LOL Wouldn't sell mine for any price, but I sure wouldn't pay that for one!

I bought my DS's last fall for $5. Actually, it was a two for $10 deal, I kept the 128 and she got the 66 - in the same exact cabinet.

I'd be ON that Davis! LOL

What's wrong with me???!!!! I've been giving better machines than some of those away! :shock: Thanks for the laughs!

I just got a New Home, if I could hide the Davis for a bit, I'd be on it! Not sure were I'd put it, but I'm really loving the treadles and hand cranks. If some one wants it and is planning a trip to upstate NY, let me know! I'm on the look out for a really nice looking hand crank, if and one knows of one let me know. I've given up on eBay.

The one that caught my eye was from the 70's! Let me see... if that is an antique, what am I!!! LOL!

Thanks for the laughs!

OMG - I have been laughing so hard I thought I would pee my pants!! It is amazing what people think these machines should go for. They are clueless - but entertaining! LOL

Well maybe the Chicago antique dealer was a bit pricey but I *heart* those #42 cabinets. I've only ever seen one for sale in my neck of the woods.
