Thought I would update all of you on my ebay nightmare. My Necchi BU ended up in Japan of all places, can you believe it?? I couldn't. It was a case of misplaced mailing labels.
Well shipping costs from Japan prohibited me from ever seeing that machine. Hope that buyer is enjoying his Necchi.
The seller refunded my money immediately plus the cost of shipping the typewriter back to him. He was very sorry that this happened and really did everything that he could, mistakes happen.
But I don't think I will buy another machine from eBay for a long time, but I won't say never.
Thanks for all your help when I needed it.
