What could be worth $800 in this auction?

Is it that silver thing in the third picture? I'm mystified.

That's a lot of money to pay for a lot of duplicate gadgets.

I'm not sure but it looks like it would be the walking foot - they think is worth the money. I wouldn't pay that for any of those items. But maybe if you are a collector someone may be interested.

I would never purchase anything like this...not even if they were gold plated. Perhaps they intend on trying to resale some of the items to re-coop their money. Wishing them good luck.

In the little box directly in front of the green buttonholer case is a "penguin" walking foot. They go for a lot of money, certainly waaay out of my price range.

Ridiculous! No one will pay that.

I've seen those Penguin feet for go as high as 600.00. there is one listed on ebay now fo 1500, doesn't say they will get it. ebay is a total crap shoot these days, not nearly as much fun as it used to be :)

I thought maybe there was a penguin walking foot for the featherweight. Those go for a lot of money but I don’t see one in this lot.

The penguin foot is in front of the furthest right buttonholer in the first picture. It is in the picture with the 15-91 manual. It even shows the walking foot manual under the 15-91 manual I think the large silver attachment might be the the Swiss ZigZagger?? There is also a hemstitcher and who knows what else buried in those. I see several featherweight bobbins, so there may be some other goodies for either the 221 or 222.

They've already had 50 bids to get up to that price. I wonder where the bidding started.
