My Pink Sewing Machine (a Learning Experience!)

Note to self: check S&H before bidding on anything!
I do want a pink machine, though.

If you really don't want it for that price you can write them and decline it. When I wanted a Featherweight I bid on so many and after I got one I didn't realize my other bids were still out there - so I got a second one because I could pick it up locally but there were 2 others and so I wrote them and said I didn't want them and it was fine.

It takes about an hour to properly pack a sewing machine. Employees have to be paid...
There are at least a dozen threads here about how machines arrive when just locked into their case and shipped.
And the postage is probably around $40.00.

if I can't get it local, I take in the drive factor cost gas. If you can get something for a few bucks is it still worth the money? I went to SA yesterday and they still had a very broken, missing parts machine for 29.99. I passed. It's been there for months. Not even close to as nice as the worst ones seen on this board. Saturday is usually 50% off everything of original price. They wouldn't mark the machine down to 15.00 because it was already marked at 50%.

Still trying to wrap my mind around bidding on more than one machine at a time.....even a Singer Featherweight which I really hope to have someday.
