Anybod know about Sewing Machines?

[Fluxion]

I 'm heading out to an auction at a local auto upholstery shop tomorrow and there are 5 sewing machines. I have always wanted an industrial sewing machine for various projects including my own car upholstery. I was wondering what these would be worth?

Here's what they have at the auction:

2-Consew 206 RB 3
1-Consew 206 RB 4
2-Juki Lu 562

The other question would any of these three models be suitable for sewing Leather that is thicker than normal upholstery leather like 6-8 oz? You know like for knife sheaths. Just trying to cover more than one hobby with a new tool. ;)

I'm not sure exactly how much they are worth but in my shop we use the consew 206rb4 and they can sew very thick leather. I would guess that with the table and everything it's probably worth around 1k...if everything is working properly. I've sewn some very thick material on that machine.

My buddy uses Consew to sew through very thick banners and such. It's a beast.
