Why do I keep on buying these Japanese sewing machines?


There's no money in old Japanese sewing machines. None what so ever. As lovely, sturdy and reliable this green Planet from the 60's or 70's is, it will never be worth more the $39.99 that I paid for it.

I was pondering this very question while standing in the check out at the dollar store this morning, gazing idly at all the junky plastic stuff they have, when the lady standing next to me with a package of hot dog buns shook her head and said "So much stuff!"

It came to me then, in a flash! Green Planet! I have a used green Planet sewing machine. I have environmental street cred! I am saving the world, one old sewing machine at at a time....

Well, it will do, as a  rationalization......But it remains to be seen which one I run out first, rationalizations or room....lol
