How about this one:

Twice what the price of it is new, and no pesky warranty to worry about.

Perhaps not. I sent a "reply" to their ad:
A friendly note:
Walmart has this machine on sale for $115, down from its regular price of $127. Singer's site says it should be priced at up to $149. That would get someone a warranty as well. You may want to revisit your price.
Or one of the newborn suckers out there grabbed it.
