No way this is real......
Ladies and Gents, while perusing Craigslist I came upon this listing. Be sure you have taken your heart medication (if needed and any other you might need) and sit down.
[h=2]1950's sewing machine and other items - $1800 (east knoxville)[/h]I have a 1950's antique sewing machine with a black and gold packard table top. It was appraised on antiques roadshow for 180,000.00. I'm asking 1,800.00. Needs tension adjusted but still works great. I also have a afghan for 350.00 and a quilt for 250.00. I have a crafts folder that is for sale and can be viewed on facebook @ penelope delarosa(betty rose). Thank you and God bless. 865-951-9952
Any thoughts...should I run down and buy it?

I think I would ask to see the Antique Road Show episode and see what they were actually appraising. It certainly wasn't a sewing machine table from the 1950's unless maybe Norman Rockwell used it for a canvas. Or maybe it was actually hiding someone's gold in the legs. It would be interesting. And how nice of the individual to cut the price to 1percent of the value. Wow!!! Wonder what the machine is, because $1,800 is way too much for any Black Singer I've seen. (And I love my 15-91 and my Featherweights but lets be real.)

ETA: Oops, that one is black and white but the black/gold one is pretty much the same. I found one on a flea market site for $38 so they can't be worth $$$.
