Just received a Featherweight that I won(?) on e-bay----very little packing and pins falling out of the box every where. The picture on e-bay did show the paint loss but not the mold and dirt-----I did plug it in and it just purrs---so it will be worth the work.....

Wow! I would have been scared after finding that in the box. But I'm happy for you that it works. I was sewing with a friend yesterday and she was using her featherweight. They do purr! Congratulations!

can u return to buyer or ask for a discount
I would let Ebay know if you are not satisfied
Is it worth what you paid for it is the first question u need to ask yourself??

bummer :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I hope you got your moneys worth.

Big job ahead of you but it will be worth it! Post pic when she is all cleaned up.

Oh my is right! what a mess. Glad it runs good :) after you get her all cleaned up, update us with her beauty.

I'd worry about all that mold! Be careful!

Wow, that's pretty bad for Ebay. I'm glad it works but I can't believe they sent it to you that way :(

Poor baby machine. She needs some loving care. She's found a home. Take care of her.

I would def give feedback on Ebay. I could see where the thread could jumble around in shipping, but not the mold. Wear a mask when cleaning....
