Can't imagine why this one hasn't been snatched up!

What have you found lately? :)

What are they thinking!

This one has been listed and relisted several times each day!!!!! since before Christmas....I am just about ready to fire off an email to the guy LOL

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-s...AdIdZ343965223

...and this is a new one today
http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-s...AdIdZ327923762 must be gold under the black paint????

outrageous prices! OMG!!! I love the treadle machine, boy... was drooling over that one.. but not over the price!

I kind of like this Brother machine ;) ...it sort of looks like my Atlas machine (bought it from Billy) that was manufactured by the Brother co.

Here is one for ya:
http://worcester.craigslist.org/clt/2722665136.html

And another....only $1000!!

or this one....http://charlotte.craigslist.org/atq/2770838670.html

or this one....http://charlotte.craigslist.org/atq/2720825686.html


They may be nice, but come on!!!!! Are you kidding me? :D

Just saw this one in my area for the 2nd time. I think the old fence panels add to the ambiance.

1951 was a good year.

a white treadle like one of Charlee's listings was at the auction today, I didn't stick around to see what it went for (have 2 already) but I am sure it was under 25 knowing the crowd

I like that old Brother too - but not for that price...and I would rather have a funky old Morse

Here;s a few more from my area....North Carolina


http://charlotte.craigslist.org/atq/2744214087.html NO MACHINE, JUST THE CABINET!!!!

Oh, and if I wanted to travel, I could pick up this 201. Oops, I mean the "15k88." http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/for/2784563956.html. Plus it has one of those rare and expensive button holers.

But, if you're looking for something portable, have I got a deal for you! http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/atq/2780368780.html.

Umm...I just don't see how you could convert a sewing machine into a pottery wheel? http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/art/2779149122.html.

I think some of these sellers are out of touch with reality.

Easy-peasy!! You just turn the machine on end and build your pottery on the handwheel as it turns! ~snicker~ I love the pricing... $429.25...does that include tax?

Definitely priceless- Thanks I needed the laughs :)

I wonder if they ever sell any- or get any nibbles ?

$400.00 for a Singer 15-91 that is actually a Featherweight....haha!!!
http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/atq/2781413916.html

:) I'm enjoying it too Caroline!

Now that bit about converting it to a pottery wheel is hilarious!!!

Gee, maybe I could convert my pottery wheel into a sewing machine...
And the person that list the FW as a 15-88 and just had it serviced? Something not right there - wouldn't the shop correct the person about what they had? So either - wasn't taken to a shop or don't take your machine to that shop!

http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/atq/2780675636.html

If this machine is very old, then I am ancient! Hah!!!

OK, people, don't be bidding up that $1,000 one. I have dibs on it.

Oh these are sooooo funny! I am belly laughing! At first I clicked on the first set of four and couldn't figure out what was so funny until I went back and looked at the prices!

Vintages giggles
 

Really how stupid or dumb do they think people are.It takes all kinds to make the world go around they say,i guess its true.

Have you noticed..the worse condition the cabnet or the machine is in..the worse the picture is.

Love that Parlor cabinet,
but they are all haveing delusions.

And here I was thinking it was with a circular stitch attachment! LOL These ads are so much fun!

I agree with you, they have to be smoking something to want that much for those!

Here's a couple.

Price is reasonable, but read the description!
http://corvallis.craigslist.org/for/2759816507.html

Fairly rare to find one in this condition!
http://corvallis.craigslist.org/hsh/2709171308.html

It's pretty and all...

Find of the Day!!
http://medford.craigslist.org/atq/2699764916.html

Say what????

http://medford.craigslist.org/hsh/2692641523.html

It must carry a tune when it sews. :)

Now this one has a decent price, but the shot of the original parts in the drawers gave me the giggle.

http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/atq/2731365932.html

This one has been popping up for several months now, and they've never lowered the price on any of it. Stupid spray paint. :(
http://wichitafalls.craigslist.org/atq/2752905560.html

I see what you mean.:p Those cams aren't going to help anyone using a 66.

Another one! I want a pretty color but not at this price.

Just saw this one, and I want pics. My grandmothers were both born in the '20s, so it is possible...but how do I know which grandmother's grandmother it belonged too??!!

"I researched this item and found it on Ebay. They were asking a buy it now price of 600.00." What a steal!

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/atq/2744214087.html NO MACHINE, JUST THE CABINET!!!! there is a machine in this cabinet. The very last picture has a black singer in it.

Here's some treasures for your enjoyment. Chicago Craig's list.

Great gift idea!!
http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/atq/2787914616.html

I think this one takes the cake especially since it's being sold by an ANTIQUE DEALER!! Sorry ... "so called antique dealer".
http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/atq/2783301308.html

Oh PLEASE! Needs belt, dusty, "storage" people took pic. No word about if it works but listed in "Excellent Condition". Seriously??
http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/atq/2782613077.html

I think some people don't know the difference and think we are stupid enough to pay the price. They might find some one who is not in the know to buy one. I hope most people are smarter that that. I got a big laugh out of the prices, way too high. I look on ebay a lot and CL, finds some god and some bad, lol
