I am unable to get around much so that's the route I will have to go. I saw some on ebay, and some of the sellers have 100% good reviews. I hope that's a good indication that they can be trusted.
Be sure to look at what the person has sold as well. If they have dealt with a lot of sewing machines, their opinion as to condition and buyer evaluation of shipping are likely to be a decent indicator. If, on the other hand, they deal with clothing, radios and old tools, anything goes.
