Have any of you ever purchase a sewing machine through eBay?
I knew if there was a place to go for references, this would be the place.
You see I have been teaching a friend how to quilt. She did have basic experience sewing and she owns an older sewing machine. She thought hers would be fine until...
...she was over at my house and sewed on one of my Berninas. Needless to say it didn't take her long to see the difference between night and day.
She'd like to purchase a machine and she's pretty much decided on a Bernina. With the economy being what it is she would like to buy a previously owned machine.
My question for yall is this: Have any of you bought a sewing machines through eBay and if so what was your experience like; what condition was the machine in; did you get a good price; were there any problems and would you buy another sewing machine at eBay?
Thanks for your answers,
Bev

Hi, I have purchased a used Bernia Artista 170E on e-bay about 4 years ago. Everything went fine. My machine and embroidery unit were shipped in large plastic tubs,that were sealed. No problems and everything worked great. The seller is bushvideo and he just has them occasional on e-bay. Hope this helps, Joan:)

Oh Joan, that's great to hear! Especially since she broke down and bought one Thursday evening while she was over here quilting. :) It hasn't arrived yet so cross your fingers for her it suppose to arrive Wed. I think!

Your friend might want to check with the local schools also, when they do upgrades they sometimes sell their machines to the public.

Well, fellow quilters. My friend took the plunge and purchased a machine on eBay this past week. She's waiting for delivery as we speak. When she gets it I'll let yall know how it went for her.
