Since I have bought and sold machines on Ebay, I like to see things for sale here, too. And I think some just need to skip reading the classified section if they are not interested. I read it for curiosity's sake, and I do hope that if someone is stung by an offer that was not as pictured or described that someone would tell us about it, too! I still think that one person's trash is another person's treasure, and the sewing machine you might not want is one I might love to buy!!
