Title: Singer 201
Post by: Efemera on August 08, 2020, 13:06:37 PM
Thinking of selling my Singer 201k... it’s in a table with flip out lid. It’s in beautiful condition.
Would there be any interest here?

Yes, I'm interested, but it depends on the price.

I was thinking of £75.... but I’m an awful long way from you.

Oo, that’s lovely. Well worth a Very long day out, I’d have thought.

Shame I’m not in the U.K., otherwise I’d be outside your door straight away.  ;)

What a beauty! You'll have no problem selling this, especially now that sewing machines of every description are in demand.

I’m reluctant to sell but there’s only so many sewing machines you need...

I seem to be lagging. Need three, love one.  :loveit:
That's a nice machine @Efemera. That price looks like a steal in ordinary times and these are not ordinary times.

Just want it to go to a good home....I’m sure the original owner Mrs Tulip would want that too.

That is a beauty. I don't think it feasible to transport down to me, at least not safely. It would be a travesty should it be damaged.

I do hope it finds a loving home…

Counting how many we have here: 5 1/2

THAT is beautiful ... and I cant believe HOW much it cost in 1956!

£76 !!!! Thats a fortune!

Thats £1,609.84 today according to this site (https://www.inflationtool.com/british-pound/1956-to-present-value?amount=76)

But she only paid £34, 4 shillings and 6 pence ???

Did she part exchange another machine ???

Full/part * payment.

That was a pristine machine complete with receipts.
If you were happy with £75 then fine but I think it was a steal at that price.
It was a stunner.
The black ones always look better than the beige ones I think.
If you have a 221 don't sell it!!!

@Sewot I only paid £40 so I didn’t mind, as long as it’s gone to a good home.
I have a white 221 but I’m not selling that nor the black 222, the Lotus 66, the black 99 or the black 306..... think that the lot for Singers!
