bruce johnson Report post Posted March 12, 2012 The Champions seem to go for around $1000-1500 around here if they run alright. The Singers are kind of common and anywhere from $150-400 buys one that sews at some level. As far as the 8 inch skiver, there are a few varieties of them in that width. Something that is complete and has at least some blade could go for anywhere from $250 up to $600 or a bit more. It just depends on what model it is and how much blade is left.

Thanks in advance for any help... =P I can not be completely sure but I would look for worn out equipment. Parts for the Champion are almost nonexistent even with a spare parts machine. The 45k is not a leather sewing machine it has bottom feed only it will sew canvas really good, but not leather. The 29-4's can be from 50 to 350. I would not give anymore than that for one of them. The 8" Osborne should go for around 350 to 450 if the blade isn't worn out. The #3 should go for around 5 or 6 hundred. There are some folks that want 3 or 4 thousand dollars for one of these machines, personally I think they are nuts but it is their equipment. Keep in mind this is an Amish auction. They are not the most honest folks to deal with. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
