    If I lived nearby, at the very least, I would go over and look at it, just to see it in person. There could be more stuff that isn't pictured.

    All those buttonholers scare the heck out of me. :> They don't sell and no one wants them per all the listings that go unsold via ebay. But, I could use those foot controls for sure...Hmmmm....

    Speaking of foot controls - I could use around 3-4 plus the three prong Singer screw apart plugs. There are a few other things I see in the pictures that I could use......

    Come on Candace - you know you 'need' it...........

    Speaking of buttonholers - I see a pink "Jetson" in there - that's for a slant needle Singer - I just picked up one locally - I don't see the pink ones too often in my area.

    I called him yesterday and asked if it would fit in my truck and he said oh yes, it is only for 4 or 5 boxes maybe 6. I said it looked like a garage full. He said he would send me more pics so I could see how much it is. I am still waiting for the pics...

    He just texted and said he would have the pics for me tonight.

    Well, we scheduled for me to pick up the parts but then he texted me and said someone else wanted them and I wasn't able to come down until Wed. He sounded like he wanted to do the first come first served thing so I said go ahead and sell to the other person that could get there sooner than me. Oh well.

    This is a peeve of mine (and how often do we get to use the word peeve?)
    You went through all the brain damage - You made a commitment - then somebody showed up and he sold them.
    They're his to sell but it's not as if you were still hemming and hawing.
    In some cases I've offered to send a deposit via PayPal...but that doesn't always work.

    In one case I had left home and driven 20 miles toward the scheduled pickup when I got a call saying that "This guy who looked at it last week came over and took it".

    Well - as we say around here - "Forget it Jake - it's Craigslist"
