This may have been posted already, but it now has an explanation for the price. Seems like we were wondering if it was a mistake or not, or this may even be a different machine.

I just thought it was interesting.

I am hugely envious at the prices most of you canny shoppers have managed to get your machines for. We don't have anything like Craigs List here or in the UK. I also looked at Billy's tutorial, and realised that perhaps I could clean up the old machine I have just on a bookshelf as decoration, so I've had a closer look this afternoon. It's a Seidel & Naumann, made in Germany (one Google site said in Dresden). Sold in London, from 23 Moor Lane EC. Model number 339, but I can't find any other kind of number anywhere- It has a boat shaped bobbin holder (and long bobbin) but desperately needs cleaning up, then perhaps the decals would be prettier. I can't get any Dojo here that doesn't have pumice in it, so could anyone help with a supplier I might get it from in the USA please? Many thanks.
I have taken some pics of the S&N, and promise to post them, and please will you all keep your fingers crossed that my little white FW makes it here in one, undamaged piece?

I have bought about 10 machines off of eBay and not one of them has been damaged. One even traveled to Timbucto and back before I received it. No problem. However, I will cross my fingers for you.

I have the same problem, spending too much money, and the garage is getting full as I am getting dirty old machines with cabinets in various states. I have lots of work to do!!!
I won a white in a martha washington cabinet from Goodwill that I pick up on Friday.
Then found this on CL today and she called me back right away. She knows nothing about sewing machines and am not sure it is all there. But I am going to get it tonight for $15. Does anyone know what model it is? If I could afford it, this may be one I could send to Billy for one of those fancy paint jobs..... ;)

I have two Necci's that look just like that. Necchi's can be great machines. There is a good users group on Yahoo that can help you with what ever you need. Info, parts, whatever. The two I have are BU's.
