" I was only able to spot one on ebay at a starting price of $499." Just because some dumbo lists their machine for that price on ebay doesn't mean it's worth it. Otherwise, I'd list one of my machines for $1,000 and that would make the other one worth that much too and I'd start rolling in the dough! Cracks me up that people really think "listing" prices on ebay qualify as appraisals. They really ought to be looking at selling prices not listing prices.

Love it, doesn't everyone want a machine you can't get needles and bobbins for? And the machine listed for $1000.00 with no picture, that ad really takes the cake.

The old saying of one man's trash is another's treasure seems to fit here.

This one has been posted in my local CL for a while...at first is was just for trade and I thought it was kind of cute so was interested in what he had in mind for a trade. Um...I never responded to his request. Think he's going to get what he's asking for in trade?? I don't think so!! LOL. What a dreamer!
