Local Good Will store is very expensive. I can pruchase new items cheaper. Price keeps going up - up.
Glad you found a great deal on this machine.

It included the extension table, knee control, original manual, accessory case with 11 feet, screwdrivers, wing needle, twin needles, darning hoop and brush for cleaning. I cleaned it up and oiled it and it runs like a charm. So keep scouring those bargain sites, your treasure awaits you!

WTG!

WHAT A WONDERFUL FIND! GOOD LUCK

[quote=Just-Lee]Happy dance for you!! Our Goodwill is becoming completely outrageous on pricing and I doubt you could buy a used pair of underpants for $3.50!! It is not uncommon to find things brand new from WalMart for less than the same at Goodwill :([/quote

After reading about the great bargins others got at GW I was excited when one opened in my area. Excitement died quickly as their prices are high, never found men's shirts at $1 - more like $4 -5. One good thing about it, I have a place to drop off stuff I no longer want to need. May in Jersey
