First, I have bought machines on ebay that were said to be "cleaned and serviced" that had to be sent back because it did not sew properly, so don't believe everything you read. And to many sellers, "works great" means that the needle goes up/down when the pedal is pressed.....so just be cautious. I have also bought nice machines on ebay.
I love 60-70s Kenmore machines but advise staying away from left homing. But don't depend on the seller knowing what that even means. My favorites are somewhat vintage Pfaffs with the IDT. I have gotten them on CL and ebay. If we knew where you live someone on here might know of a good machine for you.
