Question
i just bought my first house and found one left there. Fully operational in the original box. It even has a piece of material in mid "sew" in it. What would be the best way to go about selling it? (assuming my daugher doesnt want it.
Hello Reuven,
Thank you for your query.
Your best bet would be to sell it on eBay.
Do a search for Toy Sewing Machines and you will see many listings that pop up. You will be able to research your machine and get a feel for a price to list it at.
If you have never sold on eBay before, you will need to register.
Another selling source would be a website called RubyLane.
You might also try to sell it through a collector group called Toy Stitchers. Here is their contact information: http://toystitchers.tripod.com/
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
