    A stolen embroidery machine?

    I found this on craigslist, selling for $1,900... no way! These are over $10,000 new!

    I don't think it's stolen. I think it might be a scam though.

    I agree, it does seems like a scam.

    I just checked CraigsList for Minneapolis and the same listing is there, with a message saying "This listing has been flagged for removal". Same guy.
    A fabric stash is always missing that one fabric needed to finish the quilt on which you're working.

    This is not a stolen machine. It's a scam that runs throug CL constantly. They get people to accept a fake check for more, pay them the difference etc. This is not new and won't be the last time you see it.
