I just got an email notice about an estate sale that has four sewing machines on sale. Two are new in the box and if I get there early enough I think I'll pick up the Singer Overlock since I don't have one.
Any ideas on what these are and what I should pay for them? The Overlock seems to be going for about $50 online, so I'll try for a lot less. Looks like there should be a ton of thread there, too!

The last one is an industrial serger. Very fast.

What would you pay for it?

I worked with one of those for a few years! it's a commercial machine and one huge P.I.T.A. to thread. But, if you can get it for $50 and it works, buy it,and then sell it to me. I've been trying to find one I can afford for years. Cheapest I've found is... well, if I tell you then I'll still have to pay a lot for it!!

No idea on the prices, but have fun!

Looking at those tables, I'm kicking myself for selling my van to save on gas! My little Suzuki does have a big trunk, but ...

I've actually been wondering if picking up sewing machines and reselling might be a good retirement business for my husband. He purchased a beautiful old treadle that is sitting in my garage right now. Hopefully it will find a good home one day!
