| I posted about a year ago that I had a bunch of industrial machines to get rid of. They were my in-laws. They had a sewing business for years. When they decided to retire, they unloaded them on us for some reason. I'm CLUELESS to what we have here.
I can't even thread a needle, so I have no use for any of these. I've listed them on Craigslist. I don't want to give them away, but I really just want them GONE. Out of our storage unit. Not to mention, I was kind of hoping for a little extra Christmas money. I know it may be hard to really say what they're worth. Without looking at them in person, and knowing condition (they've been in storage for over 4 yrs. I know there's probably issues with oil, or whatever they have/had in them)
The books I have in front of me say this is what they are Brother:

| Wow they maybe older machines but bet a few places sewers with small business probably could use them.. The price is more than fair. What State do you live in? Or Big city are you near? I have friends in different States that have some small businesses maybe I could refer them to this site. When my grandparents retired we donated some of the equipment to a local vocational school, you can write off the donation on your taxes.. |

| I'll ask my son when he gets off work the name of the place he rented one for me to do some work for his shop.Then maybe you could email them the pictures and see what they have to say.I think 200.00 is a good buy,yet you may be able to get more for some of them.Also check with dry cleaners,and the yellow pages for industrial sewing machines. I'm in Calif so it will be awhile b4 i talk to ds. |
