I think Ray White has the right idea...there's no money in reselling these oldies...teach people how to fix them for $700 a pop tho, and you can make a living!

Ok...this one is NOT vintage...and I know you can pick one up at Hancock's Fabrics for less than $1000! (think the last one I saw was marked at $499!)

I'd say the red eye is a $100 deal . BUT
OMG
2 grand for a sewing machine !!!!! I almost died, 40 years ago, when the ol lady made me send 500 on one.. she didn't like it soooooo off we went with another 500 $ bill. The sewing machine guy rolled out the red carpet.. but it was for the lady behind us
yes, I know wall about things cost more now days, so that 700 on the red eye would be a great buy ...now..

There some very good points coming up on these c/l adds....
I have use c/l for it's get go..... I have sold in the 10,000's of dollars, and most likely bought that amount , same with ebay.. so when I'm buying I watch it like a hawk, maybe 15 to 20 times aday.
these sewing machine I often catch in minutes after they show up.. many I mail at that time, so often never ever get a reply, yet that add runs til it expires...maybe it sold yes..
Then thi sone, you call they posted a number, every time a guy answer sound like there druuged or drunk, ask a question and they may say something that you can't understand then hang up on you and that add get deleted. then in a day the same add reappears two days leter it gone, afew months and there's that same add...
and then the FW adds that show up all over the USA , BUTTTTT there showing the same photo in each add.
as in what charlee posted a machine priced at 20000 when it sell for half that. This isn't just with sewing machines... This quilting craze has become a huge money maker , so are these just plain ol spammer/ scammer adds
Dealing with antque and vintage atuo/atv parts this is common place now days..
