I recently upgraded and would like to sell my PE-780D embroidery machine (and might sell my sewing/quilting machine too - I just don't have room for multiple machines). Was wondering if the cuties knew of a place to advertise besides local newspapers and craigs list? I know you can sell on e-bay but I have never done that before and I heard the fees can be a tidy sum. Anyone have other suggestions?

There is a yahoo group called Sew it's for Sale. It'd free to advertise and you can get some great deals on all kinds of stuff related to sewing. I got a great deal on a QE4, and I'm looking at another item to upgrade my emb. machine.

Thanks for your reply.

I sold one on ebay! I did post it but made sure it was tightly packed, there are some fees but if I sell on ebay I add in the fees to price of goods...

Thanks for your reply.

Any item you sell on EBAy has a "protection Plan" with it. In other words if I buy it I expect it to work when I get it.PayPal is also a guarantee to get your money back if item does not work.Fees are not that high for either one.Make sure you pack item in a double box and NOTHING moves. or specify LOCAL PICK-Up ONLY.Craigslist is free and you can specify how far you are willing to go to sell. I have sold on Ebay for 5 yrs and have 100%positive feedback.Everything from a bike,Micro,to books.

I just bought one from Craig's list but I met the lady who was selling it and made sure it was working and it is doing fine.

Thanks for your reply. I have it posted there and we shall see what happens.

I sold an embroidery machine on E-Bay and stated cash on delivery and that I would be happy to show how the machine worked.
Was lots of interest and a good experience I would be happy to repeat. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply.

depending on where you are located
Ebay will give your items the most
exposure.
You can limit the cost involved by only accepting
personal cheque/bank transfer, as paypal costs would be the most costly, however they do offer the buyer some protection.
I puchased my used machine via ebay and was happy with paying cash on collection thus seeing the machine in action before parting with any money.
Good luck

Ask here. Just have a cutie send you a private message if they are interested.
