He paid $75 for it and was so excited by his amazing find. I was a little shocked because that is much more than I like to spend on my typical Saved by Suzy pieces.
So, here's my question...what do I do with this sewing machine? Should I try to sell it as-is on Craigslist? I wonder how much it is worth. I tried to do a little research, but couldn't come up with any pricing. I don't think I should paint it because the wood is in such great condition. What do you think? It's not something I would keep. I already have a nice, modern sewing machine that I barely know how to use. I also really don't have a place for this.

I buy and sell a lot of machines and cabinets on Ebay. This machine is not very valuable or collectible. The cabinet is quite lovely, maybe a desk for a laptop? Add a mirror, instant dressing table. I've seen sewing cabinets made into sink cabinets, you have imagination, I'm sure you can come up with something useful!
I agree that it would look very nice as a desk or dressing table. It is a nice piece....
while i agree that it would look nice as a desk or such, i think the only way for you to really recoup the cost would be to try to sell it for what he paid on craigslist. i find they aren't very valuable either, and after all the time work you will have to put into it i just don't think it is worth it. sorry!!! just want to keep it real and honest!
I love it! Too bad I don't live near you, I'd buy it and use it in my guest room. Hang a fun mirror over it, add a small tray to catch jewelry and it'd be a great writing desk/dressing table.
I would list it on CL...
I agree with those who have also said a desk or dressing table - would your girls use it for dress up or anything? Could you make it into a play kitchen for them?
If you decide to sell it as is, I am interested. I am in Fruita, I think you are too? Hit me up smavisdavis@gmail.com,
Looks interesting. You should leave it as is - maybe clean up the wood and sell it as a desk/dresser/entry way console. It must be heavy with the machine intact.
