I almost fell out of my favorite chair looking at that price. He must be out of his mind.

These are my favorite lines:

"This is a rare sewing machine, it is one of the first one's made"

Oh I wish I had a magic motor - it is truly rare. I wonder if his mother invented it?

yeah - that one looks sort of like a very modified 185 or something - I bet those machines don't look all that good if they are using stock pics.

"Vintage Hand Crank" model? isn't that a motor in the picture?

I'd kill for the carrying case though. . . I bought a Red Eye at a garage sale last year but it is in a Pfaff carrying case.
