    There is a Yahoo group called sewitsforsale where you can post an item like this (including photos). You have to join Yahoo groups first (it's free, but annoying). After that, you ask to join. Pay attention to the group's rules about how to post -- and especially about how to post photo's. There is no charge for the group. Transactions are completely between buyer and seller.

    Ebay has become a very safe site for buyers these days. I bought a featherweight and had a great transaction.

    You didn't mention Craig's List...

    I've purchased several vintage machines on craigslist, and that's where I look first for things like that.

    I sold one in my local newspaper, but listed another and got no calls. I agree that Craigslist will be next. I don't want to mail a machine.

    I check Craigslist every day for used sewing machines and have bought several. My area encourages buyers and sellers to meet in the lobby of the police department, so any potential fears one might have regarding safety are eliminated.

    Oops I thought you wanted to buy a machine, not sell it.
    I would do Craig's list

    If it's vintage (old enough to not have plastic parts) you might find interest in it over at victoriansweatshop.com. They will allow you to post a for sale listing.
