HUH???? Holy crap!!! For a sewing machine!!!

Wondo · December 30, 2003 5:16AM

Looks like two folks put stupid bids in hoping to get it at a little above its value. Whoops!!

I bet it doesn't get bought, waddya think?

Ah,but you overlook the fact that its the much sought after 1982-D double spindle deluxe,with a production
of only 176,500 units.

I can see the guy with a rating of 3 putting in a kooky bid like that,but the second highest bidders
rating is over 100,all +.
Strange.

Lava,

That's Mr. Stupid to you.

I bought my wife a Singer sewing machine for Christmas that was made in 1876 and is in "XF" condition, works wonderfully, and it only cost $250.00 My aunt-in-law says that some of the more cool sewing machines can cost over $15,000.00 in "MS-65". They can do all kinds of interesting things that older machines cannot do, including being electrically powered.

Some folks just want the modern stuff.
