Hope everybody had a good Holydays. I am in a Bernina facebook page. sometimes I See Machines for sale.... How reliable are those places. I do not want the same thing that happened in E bay. thank you;

Hi Mary......as Kim mentioned, I do have my Bernina 830 for sale...it has been given a clean bill of health and has all it's updates done last month...

Mary on your posts before you were given much great advice which I would suggest that you re read. Ebay has policies in place where if there are problems ones money can be refunded Facebook doesn't. The advice I have given before is the same

If you are looking for a Bernina, our own Vicki (basketkase) was selling hers..not sure if she has sold it yet, but you might PM her and ask...

Mary, I would only spend (lots of) money at a dealer that offered at least a 90 day replacement. I did buy one from an individual -- but drove the 2+ hours to see it in person. It was new, never used and less than $700. If the machine is more money than you can afford to be without for days, months or much longer -- don't buy it online. If you can meet at the dealership AND have the machine checked before you buy it, then you might be safe getting it.

Thank you i learned my lesson Ebay. was a nightmare So if I could see the machine and take it to a technician to check it would be ok
