Unfortunately, I didn't keep the box it came in, so although I'll probably be selling it, I don't think I'll be able to ship it. Without the custom packing, I'd be afraid of damage in transit. If you're in Western/Upstate NY, and interested, please let me know!
Recently, I sold a couple machines that did not have the box they came in. I got a box that was bigger and wrapped lots of bubble wrap around them and had no problems. I sent them UPS.
