I totally agree in principle Wayne, but unfortunately my recent purchase and another a while back made no difference it was the sellers own machine, I still got stuck with footing the bill for repairing pins that were not as described, but fortunately these have been the exception considering the amount of pins I’ve bought on here, so it’s definitely less risk buying a pin from the person who owns it but don’t take anything for granted
But at least you know the issue is with that single person, if selling someone else's machine there isn't the same clarity
