"Machine works and is in good condition" ,... really? Inspection List
#13
A guy that knows my DH wanted to know if I wanted to purchase a machine his sister had. Same words, worked and in good condition. When it comes to any kind of purchase, DH always asks, "Well does it work NOW and what is it's "CONDITION NOW". The guy wanted $500.00 because it was an antique. Right off the bat NO. It was a mess. Not at this time or any other time. We also don't buy anything sight unseen.
Too true. And as mlmack says, more so today. It's a shame really that we can't just trust one another, but some people make it so hard to.

Aww, don't tell me that! I haven't dug into the 201-2 from last week yet. I don't want any more character building machines for a week or two. Between this Pfaff and the Bernina, I've done all the character building I can handle for a month or so.

Tammi,
I really like your term: 'character building machines'. I will use that one.

I have an invertor, which I plug into my lighter socket in my car. It converts DC current to AC current and I can test if the machine runs if I have to meet at a half way location for a viewing. It has a plug in socket just like in your house, so just plug and test.

Those are great! I use one on the road to charge my laptop. I never thought to use it to test a machine.
