    Good for you, sometimes it pays to be persistant.

    BOY, u do not want to hear what i said!! LOL
    That is an beautiful machine and you practically stole it! So glad u found it. Im waiting on one now to see if i can get one for $100 closeby....wants $250 but the cord doesn't match, has the green colored (replacement) cord and the case is pretty worn but it's an 1 owner machine. Pray for me! I had already brought one earilier in the yr for $30 w/attachments but need 1 more either blackor white for an beneficiary wishlist to granddaughters. Have fun with that jewel ....

    There was one last week on our Craigslist for $50 but I never heard back from the seller. I figured I wouldn't.

    Okay. You made me feel a little better.
    I went looking the other day and a guy in an antique barn said he had one.
    Condition?
    Good
    Around$????
    They run around $200ish. I haven't sold any for a while.
    How can I see it?
    I'll bring it in etc....
    So, I traveled back the 30 miles and planned on coming back to see it in a few days.
    Traveled today, the thirty miles.(and another thirty miles home, in the POURING rain!)
    IT WAS THERE!!!! BUT.............$275 and $20 tax.
    Let's bargain.
    No. Come on. You said $200ish. I am willing to go up to $225
    No. $275 and $20 tax. no movement....
    How about $250?
    No. $275 and $20 tax.
    $275.
    No. $275 and $20 tax.
    I simply felt I was being taken advantage of. He should have at least gone to $250, afterall, NO ONE HAS BEEN INTERESTED but as soon as I showed interest, he figured he had me.
    I let it go.
    I KNOW! I KNOW! I WANT IT BUT...
    I'll play the game and since it is the beginning of the garage sale season, I will keep it in mind.
    He has my number. I have his.
    I'm dying to have it........but there are too many out there not to give it a chance.
    $60? sigh................enjoy it and love it being a bargain on top of a joy.
