Thread: Is this quilting machine for real??

This is on Ebay for a ridiculously low price. He has no other items he has sold, whats that saying "If it's looks to good to be true, it probably is. Hope this link works.

My other thought on this item...where is the wife's thought on this?

maybe no wife!

I would be hesitant to buy from someone with zero feedback unless I paid with pay pal. You have protection that way. To be honest, if I passed away, my kids would have no idea what to price my sewing machines etc. They would sell it for little of nothing because they don't realize the value even second hand.

What I have told my husband to do in the case of my death is to pay the gal that LA's my quilts to price out my stuff and have a quilters estate sale.

Of course it is a scam, look a the listing there is a statement about buying it now for $2,500 and to pay them outside of ebay. These things come up all the time, always with expensive items for silly low prices. Also if you search for that quilter you will find an active listing or one that sold in the last month or two that they hacked the photos from.

The scary part is that so far 53 people were willing to bid and not use their common sense.

Not really 53 bidders ~ the last bids have been two people bidding against each other. I wouldn't doubt but what one of them is the person selling the item trying to run the bid up. If there is in fact even such a machine.

dont do it. i got "took" once for being too trusting on ebay, i still shop there but am much more careful now
