I found that you have to moderate but firm prices on CL and be patient. Give out plenty of info with good pictures. Don't bother with "it was grandmas, serious inquiry only" Put your phone number in but make it so that it isn't something someone can automatically dial. (1-123-321-1234) will come up on someones cell some how and they can dial it but (1-123-one two three -1234) is ok. Allow emails with new titles & their phone numbers. Don't look at the ones that come back with your same title or wanting to know if you will lend them money or what ever. Read the safety info on CL.

OMG! I was just talking to the spousal unit and telling him which machines I was planning to post and everytime I would point one out, he'd say, "but you wanted that one"... "we worked hard on that one"..."that was your first one"...."I don't know, it's pretty cute..." and finally, "What's wrong with making a couple of payments on the credit card?"
I get to keep my babies!!

Candace, did you buy that black 301 that I saw on Craigslist yesterday or the day before? I went back to try and find it and it is gone! It was really nice. Someone from Sacramento was selling it for a very reasonable asking price, way under $100. I can't find it now. I was going to go get it! I hope you got that one! Anyway, someone knew what it was and snatched that baby up quick!

Nancy, I did see a black shortbed listed for $200 yesterday. First, it's more than I'd pay:> And I already own a black, short bed 301, so didn't need it. Unless the ad you saw was different..... I didn't pay that much for mine either. Of course it needed some work. But, that's what I like. I think Miriam, Charlee and I are addicted to puzzles!
Is this the ad or was it a different one? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/app/2833285536.html

I know most of you have more vintage machines, and some are talking about downsizing, but I 'm looking for a newer one. I have a friend who is looking for a 1958 Featherweight for his girlfriend for the year she was born. Any one know one for sale? Thanks
