And that is how much in USD ??  Around here the stands are worth more than the machine !!  They make nice outdoor tables with a good top added !!
a couple of quid = £2 which is $3...or there abouts.... ;D
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and I paid $60 for my fully functional 1919 New Home treadle sewing machine, $100 for my fully functional 1894 Pfaff hand crank and $250 for a very rare 1870 Gold Medal Octagon hand crank that functions, but needs a worn part custom machined in order to keep it from dropping stitches. On craigslist the prices seem to be a bit higher now than they were, but with $120 being an average price for both functional and ones that appear to function but may not actually have everything threre. ...And then a gain they come up in the free section sometimes too.
