That has to be one of the fugliest cabinets I've ever seen.

Well of course Manuel is with it: It is near Mexico after all

I just bought that buttonholer and it's superb. I actually really like the cabinet: It's art deco and a little different to the usual ones. The machine is a 15, so this combination is actually pretty good. I might offer him $100, or even give him the full price: The buttonholder has to be worth $35.

I think that "at least" $2000 might be a hard sell. "

She replied. She said she's selling it for her mother, and the mother set the price but there's some wiggle room.
I suspect that she'll be storing it for her mother for some time, especially with an ad worded that way.

Here's today's: http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...AdIdZ536397692
"Comes with wooden 6 drawer storage basket. (175.00) Old Singer , portable k99, in case, immaculate condition."

Because showing a machine in a garbage bag with no lid always says "immaculate condition" to me. The "basket" must worth $130+, because I have a hard time selling clean serviced 99s with their cases intact for $50 here.

They cleaned it with the shop vac. I have this elaborate cleaning scheme where they wrap the garage bag around the shop vac and turn it on.... lookie! clean!
