Lots of "0" here... don't know why somebody is thinking an unused sewing machine sitting for more than 50 years would be worth that much...

Likely he will move them to the shed or garage... or dump them in the GW bin on a rainy day when he gets tired of looking at them. Maybe he will remarry and his new wife will want them. I doubt if you could buy them, sell off anything any good and still turn a dime. You would have to be wanting a collection then wanting that collection.

Ok, it was a typo mistake (first price was 10 000$!) But still... 100$ is a lot of money for a White.
