I did win a machine from one of the Goodwill stores on the shopgoodwill.com site. Unfortunately they did not do such a great job packing it. There was some damage to the base, because although they wrapped the machine very well in bubble wrap, they put it into a gigantic box with just loose foam and peanuts thrown in, and it rattled around so much it broke the corner of the base. I would send them an e-mail and ask them to be sure it gets carefully wrapped first and then securely packed into a box so that it doesn't shift around. I have gotten other things from that site that were fine.
