I haven't heard yet from List manager for Sew it's for sale. But I have now listed it on ebay. Again, thanks for your ideas.

Just be careful, especially with Craigslist. There are a lot of scammers out there. If they aren't local and can't meet you in person, don't do business with them. DO NOT go to any site through a link in an email. They come out of the walls (at least they did for me 9 out of 10 contacts were frauds).

In reading the original post, there's not enough information about the machine that *I* would consider this advertising an intention. JMHO.

In addition to sewitsforsale Yahoo group, there's another sewingstuff4sale on Yahoo. It has a smaller membership but might also be an option.

As to listing on this board, the pricing restrictions are unreasonable, IMHO, particularly if the machine is fairly new.

I totally agree with all you said. You have to be ready to lose if you sell on here. I would rather give my #1 away than take what I was told I had to offer it for on here. It's fully serviced and sitting in the box that it came back from servicing from. One day I'll sell it or not but if I chose to give it away, I'll make that decision without being forced into it. I've seen great deals on fabric on here but for things like machines, I think it's better to put them where you are in control. Plus, you have to have certain membership standings on here before you can advertise; which makes total since so it doesn't become another selling site.

I totally agree! I had placed an ad for a less than year old machine on this board and it was pulled because of the pricing restrictions. I listed it on Yahoo group SewItsForSale and it sold in less than an hour. The buyer opted to wait a few weeks for delivery as we were driving across country for the holidays and we stopped and hand delivered it to her. I have sold 3 vintage machines there also.

Following luvstoquilt301's suggestion, I posted the machine on ebay. And, following suggestions to be cautious about payment, I created a paypal account. The machine sold yesterday for the full asking price. Thanks to all for your ideas.
I am a happy quilter!

Good luck with selling your machine, i would ebay it.

Wow, that was pretty quick. Enjoy your proceeds.

Glad it worked out for you.
