Please notice that although the machine itself was wrapped a layer of bubble wrap inside its case, the case itself was "cushioned" by only a handful of plastic grocery sacks.
1950's plastic is not the most pliable out there.
HELLO.. brittle anyone?
I'm just a tad bit annoyed. :thumbdown:

Oh my goodness, that is terrible, so sorry that has happened to you. I had the same thing with something I bought that arrived in 100 broken pieces and luckily the seller refunded my money but it was nothing so precious as this gorgeous machine. I hope they come to the party and you find another another one, I would be heartbroken and very annoyed.

I don't want to be a witch (nicely put) about this..
all I'm asking for is for them to make it right.
The collectable aspect of the machine is greatly reduced, in my opinion by having a destroyed case.
I'd like a refund and paid return postage to return it to them.
Their choice.
Not too much IMHO to ask.

Yup, same thing happened to me on a Singer 99 from E-Bay. I was refunded by the seller. Then I got a Featherweight which I really wanted anyway for a few $ more. No case, but my husband can make me one to tote it!

Awful, if you don't hear from the seller by tomorrow, late tomorrow afternoon, I would send another email to the seller telling him/her that unless you hear from him within 24 hours, you are filing a claim with eBay. Sometimes things happen with people and they can't check their emails; on the other hand, in this tech age, there's really no excuse...at least within 2 days.
Did you pay with PayPal? Isn't there a method that you can reclaim your funds????
I remember when you posted the first pics of this cute little machine!!
