Have you been to your local sewing machine store/repair shop to see
what they might have for sale that is used? This board is dedicated to
the discussion of sewing and all things related and is not a 'sale'
board. HTH

G'day Rod

Have you looked on eBay? With the Janome 11000 being released recently
there are quite a few people upgrading so that gives you more
opportunities. Good luck in your search

I don't see that one wanted ad on this group will cause any
problems.....afterall there are lots of off topic discussions that don't
relate to sewing!!

Careful with eBay. A lot of sellers do not know how to pack a sewing
machine for safe shipment. I'm on a few Yahoo discussion groups for
sewing machine collectors and this is a big complaint.=20

I have first-person experience buying a sewing machine on e-Bay. The idiot
who sold it snapped a plastic carrying case over it without securing the
actual machine inside OR packing ANYTHING like newspapers, bubble wrap etc.
in there with it. Then the cheap dumb-a## put it in a cardboard box they
had made from a cut-up carton diesel engine oil came in and mailed it. By
the time I got it the machine had rolled around inside to the point it was
completely destroyed. I paid $80 for it, then discovered the "insurance"
claim has to be made by the SENDER not the recipient. The seller (sender)
denied any and all responsibility. I ended up writing the whole thing off
rather than deal with the elevated blood pressure, and buying a new machine
locally -- after writing a scathing review/complaint that was posted back on
e-Bay. The only thing I got for my $80 was the satisfaction of seeing the
low-life that stole my money twist and turn in the wind with a terrible,
detailed complaint posted that they could do nothing about. I hope they
lost their hat, a## and raincoat afterwards. I'm sure they had to change
their e-Bay name and start over. I would NEVER buy a sewing machine there,
although I know many have done so successfully. One screwing is enough for
me, thank you very much. Caveat emptor...
