"It would be great for a collector, a display, or could be serviced to make it a working machine." |

Ok, this one has me baffled. What model and what's with the openings on top? |

Clearly there isn't vintage sewing machine shortage in Texas, so these outrageous prices are truly baffling.
Again, if people are indeed paying those prices for those machines, I am going to start a business of buying machines here, and driving them to Texas. |

Are the other 2-3 machines in the photo accessories? I'd take the kittie too... |

Most finished Ebay auctions are binding to both seller and buyer, not just buyer. I would dispute it on those grounds if you really wanted the machine. They had the option of ending the auction early or just canceling it.
http://www.azcentral.com/business/ar...nclick_check=1 "Most eBay auctions -- from antiques to fashion to video games -- are considered to be legally binding contracts, requiring quick payment from the buyer and safe delivery from the seller. Not so for vehicle auctions, which are non-binding and can be canceled by either the buyer or the seller." I bet I can find that in their rules too. This article was more "fun" though. The cars are not binding, I would think that a sewing machine is. ETA: I agree, eBay isn't worth the aggravation. |

Speaking of bait 'n switch. Couple days ago my $5 eBay bid was high on a nice Singer 15 clone so called "made in America." (Was interested in a 15 clone "made in America") Upon payment I was informed it was listed incorrectly. It should have been $50. Am currently trying to get back my $5 and shipping. If the process continues I'm beginning a complaint. The money isn't as important as their thinking I'm a patsy. If it costs more in time and money than my investment I'm continuing the complaint. I'm beginning to think the gains on eBay don't outweigh the frustrations.:mad::thumbdown:

Seems like a simple matter to work out to me. Hope all communication was/is done through eBay messaging.
