Ever notice on that show how the stuff that's worth the most is the most butt ugly stuff that exists? Especially the vases... |
I've got at least a dozen really old machines, some are beautiful, working antiques but I don't think they're worth 15,000 if they were all together. If fact, throw in the quilting machine, frame and all my newer ones and they still wouldn't be worth that much.

Makes you wonder if one should laugh are feel sorry for the poor demented person. :shock:

http://www.sewalot.com/queen%20victoria.htm This guy has a fascinating site with a lot of information on these old machines! http://www.sewalot.com/sewing_machine_collection.htm |
That's too funny! I could buy 3 of my "dream" machines for that!

Sounds like she was trying to sell you a VIOLIN!

guess, you don't want it then. lol
|
Scam, scam and scam! Why do people do that?? I am checking out ebay to see if I can find it!

yep - someone has been smokin their socks - the highest priced antique sewing machine was just over 3K - NOT 15,000.00!

I bought my Singer Treadle for 15.00 here in South Dakota and it worked great. Sold it on my auction, kicking myself every day.
