Did you buy it Billy? I bid on it, but I really wanted a purple one that I saw on Ebay. Just loved it.

Nope I dont buy anything on ebay anymore. After they started changing up their policies several years ago I just wrote them off.

Now I will go on there to look around to see what is out there but I go to another auction site and buy there. So far I have yet to pay over $15 for any machine that I buy and most of them are in cabinets and I do local pick up so no shipping charges. Also they will not ship if it is an a cabinet or treadle.

I've never bought anything from them (ebay), and never even went on their site until a couple of weeks ago. What was their major policy change if I might ask? What is the other site you go to? Gerbie

They started jacking up the fees for the sellers and now you have to have a paypal account to be able to buy or sell on there. And then they raised the fees for paypal so it was just not worth the effort.

Goodwill has a auction site and thats the site I go to the most.
