I bought my first FW from Ebay and got a really good deal. Waited and waited and waited. Contacted the seller. Got no answer. Had to go to Ebay to make the seller send the machine. Seller said I hadn't paid and they would just stop the transaction and call it even. Went to PayPal and FINALLY got the machine.

My son walked into the local Goodwill store about three years ago, and found my little white FW sitting on the shelf, no case, no attachments, but in pristine condition. He bought it for $50 which was a real bargain even then. About 6-8 months ago, he found my 403A, for $41, in excellent condition --looked like brand new -- clean inside and out! Of course, my son worked as a Sewing Machine Mechanic for 14 years, so he knows his way around and through a sewing machine! LOL! I still think I am totally blessed by his findings!
Be sure to post photos when your machine arrives! Hope she gets there in good shape (undamaged)!

Congrats on your featherweight! I hope it arrives safely.
ArizonaKat: It sounds like your seller didn't like the price and was looking for a way out. I would have left negative feedback on that one to warn other buyers.

I have bought a feather weight on ebay and if its wrapped and packed good it will be ok when you get it. I always pay with pay pal on ebay. This way you can always file a claim against them if things are not right. Most sellers will try to work it out with you it things are not right. I only leave negative feed back on ebay if things can't be worked out. People make mistakes and things happen even when they are trying there best to please other people. Good luck on your feather weight. I am sure it probably will be ok. Mostly if that person has good ratings.

She arrived yesterday and was packed very nicely. I have had issues with getting her to stitch however. I am hoping with help on the board here I may be able to get her running again. Here is a link to my troubleshooting article.
