I bought a Babylock Symphony on eBay and it has been a great machine. The card to register the warranty was in the box so I went online and the machine had never been registered so I got the warranty which is probably rare. This was a private seller who bought the machine and didn't like it because it was to modern, she was used to mechanical machines. Don't be afraid to ask the seller if you have any questions, I did with the symphony. I wanted to know why they were selling it because it was not listed in the ad, I also asked about how the machine would be packed for shipping.
