I've bought 3 machines off Ebay,taking the chance, and have been very fortunate....Janome MC 300E. $550. SO lucky to have the seller help me with the Embird program. I really bugged that poor lady for information...Now it's old hat...
Jukie TL98Q..$370..Very nice machine.. Singer 403 from back East that was very musty smelling. Never got rid of smell..Just sold that one..Nice machine otherwise...All off Ebay...
I always requested they pack really well...
