![]() ![]() ![]() If you have the patience and don’t mind spending time browsing, there are also opportunities to find good deals at local places such as Goodwill stores or a yard sale. If you want a machine in really good shape that doesn’t need repair, it may be worth purchasing it this way – but only from a seller that you can trust and one who knows how to ship a vintage sewing machine so it arrives in one, and not several, pieces. You have to scrutinize the photos and take the seller on faith when they describe the condition of the machine. Vintage sewing machines on EBay may have been refurbished, so the price will be higher. In the case of EBay, you are competing against other people who also want this machine and this can drive the price higher than what the vintage sewing machine may actually be worth. Machines sold on online sales sites such as EBay or specialty stores tend to be more expensive, especially when you factor in the cost of shipping. Vintage sewing machines that needs some tender loving care are your best bet. You have a better chance of getting a good deal on a vintage sewing machine if you find one locally that is underpriced due to its condition. Yes, you can buy a vintage sewing machine from eBay, but sewing machines are heavy so even if you find a good deal online you are going to have to pay some hefty shipping charges to get it to your house. If you are looking for a really great deal and you are comfortable in your ability to assess a vintage sewing machine, then I recommend that you buy local.
