So I am selling my Brother/Baby Lock Embroidery Professional - 1 head 6 needles and I have it listed on ebay.
So I get a question about whether you can use a usb memory stick on it - I tell the person I doubt it but it does come with the usb cord to hook to a computer so maybe.
She the person replies back and says - "I talked to someone more knowledgable than you about these machines and they can convert it so it takes a usb memory stick but it will cost so I'll buy your machin from you for 2000.00 less than you have it listed for...ok?"
I'm not kidding that was her direct quote...I'm thinking "seriously? seriously?" I can't even bring myself to respond to this person....

How much are you selling it for that she wants a $2000 discount? I have no idea what these machines go for.
I would be VERY nervous selling anything over $100 or so on ebay, sellers have NO protection against buyers who are scam artists.

I ran an embroidery company for 4 years - I know this machine inside and out but she doesn't know that - so I'll give her that but I thought it was awfully nervy to send me 1) an email with that tone and 2) asking for a reduction like that becaus eyou want to use a memory stick instead of your computer.
The darn thing hooks to a computer; a memory card reader; take a memory card; cd rom and floppy....
I haven't responded - she hasn't bid so I'm ignoring her - ebay says not to respond to people who make offers outside of the process - so that's what I'm going to do before I tell her where she can go with her "computer sticky thingy" (memory stick).
