Members Dantan Posted March 6, 2019 Members Report Posted March 6, 2019 Long story short, I have two older singer sewing machines that i need to find a new home for. I am going to post here what they are, and i am hoping you all can help me figure out a fair price for them, and who knows.. maybe a buyer? Singer 29-4 Patch sewing machine. In Dusty condition... I had it tuned up I think 16 years ago... only used it a few times for a project that was discontinued. It has sat unused for close to 15 years, but I have reason to think it is not functional. I am thinking $300 to $500 ?? is that appropriate? The other machine is a Singer 51 W 54 Post machine. This machine was tuned up in the fall, and is the machine that I used for the last 20+ year. It has been a work horse for me, stitching pretty heavy strap leather , until I got a flat bed PFAFF a couple of months ago. This is the machine that I am really not sure what to ask for it, because I am not seeing very many of them out there for sale. so I am thinking $200 to $400 ??? Both machines are located in the Boston MA area. The 51W54 is set up, and easily testable.. the 29-4 needs to be dug out. Thank you for any advice!! Dantan
Members Webicons Posted March 6, 2019 Members Report Posted March 6, 2019 Hello Dantan - I am interested in the 51W54. I am located about 5 hours from Boston (Long Island, NY) so let me know if you don’t find anyone in the local area to purchase the machine. It was the machine that I used when learning shoemaking. Apart from its quirks, it’s a pretty reliable machine (though keeping things tight can be a challenge). The visibility of the needle is wonderful with the wheel. Take care - Ed
Members Dantan Posted March 8, 2019 Author Members Report Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Webicons, I am going to put them up on craigslist today I think.... ... any thoughts on a fair price? I am not trying to make a killing or anything... to be honest, I need the floor space more then I need the cash. D
