ok, SO I want to know what a "cherry sewing machine" looks like. Is it made out of cherry wood, or does it actually sew cherries....
Steve, I giggled all day about sewing cherries, and then I saw an ad with this text. The opposite of people selling a sowing machine, I guess. So that cherry-sewing machine might have a grass-sewing attachment? ;-)

"Would like someone to fertilize & sew grass seed on lawn, trim rose bushes, and other light duties at $15.00 per hour."

Well drill out a bigger hole in the throat plate and put in a bigger needle and you could pit the cherries...

I've been looking at this sad picture for a long time. A holiday decorative piece??? Maybe I should make an offer.

IT IS WAY OVER PRICED IT THAT GARBAGE IS GLUED ON - I would email them and tell them I pay $5 for parts machines.

Glued on??? Geez how sad lol. I agree with you Miriam. Nobody will buy it and I will have to look at that ridiculously huge cone of red thread on top of that machine forever.

If it is glued on it might scrape off. You never know it might even function after some TLC - I've seen worse looking machines. I would want to see if it has any parts missing.

It is most likely glued with hot glue gun that will come off easy. If glued down at all. I don't agree with people who do this but the machine is most likely ok. If you saw this machine without the decoration you would say it is a good deal. I don't have time looking for the the silly overpriced ads when I could be spending the time working on my machines, sewing and making things. Too much time spent on this trivia

Oh my goodness.... it's baaaaackkkk.....! You might think that since they've had this table listed for MONTHS, somebody would have thought to take a decent photo by now!

At least now it's "make an offer". I think they started out at $100 and dropped to $50.
