    Here's a doozy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300724423553...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    Note that the first number is only the opening bid...and that there are no opening bids yet.

    Wonder how many times the seller will relist it before giving up?

    If you look at the other items this seller has up for auction, you will see they are ridiculous on their pricing for them too!

    Well, the seller sure has a nice story to go along with his/her price tag!

    Here is the description (in case the posting is deleted). I did a google search on vintage Kingston sewing machines and it seems as if they are one of the Japanese clone machines


    "I am looking to sell a very rare Vintage/Antique 1920's/1930's Kingston Sewing machine. It is in amazing condition (lightly used), for being as old as it is. It runs great, and would be a great addition to any antique collection. Because of it's condition and rarity, I have lowered my asking price to $2,000 OR BEST OFFER. If you are interested or have questions, feel free to TEXT me at 517-376-2408, or email me at crystal.cook13@ yahoo.com. Please note that emailing me might take some time before I respond.

    *Photo's of this item are available upon request.

    *NOTE* Please be aware of imitators selling copies of this model by Kingston, and other brands such as Schwinn."

    I had googled Kingston sewing machine too after I saw the ad and I thought it looked like a clone machine too!

    Well, that would be a better deal than the $2000 the other CL seller wants!!!
