I am selling my Kenmore 19001 (exactly the same machine as the Janome
5700)Sewing/Embroidery Machine. I have purchased a new machine and I have another Kenmore computerized sewing machine so I need to clear out a little room!!!
This machine is in PERFECT working condition.
I will also include a reader / writer box and the Easy Import and Easy Edit Software. This way you can use all of those fantastic free designs on the internet without buying all of the expensive cards.
included are THOUSANDS of designs in the SEW format (which is what this machine uses.)& a copy of BUZZ tools so you can convert almost any design into the SEW format to be compatible with your machine.
Worth over $3500
$850 or best offer. Please email me at snipped-for-privacy@aol.com with any questions.
Please post ads on the marketplace groups such as rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace. =20
That is what those groups were designed for.
Despite what others may say about freedom of speech and 'no rules on the internet', according to Usnet charter (this grou is part of Usenet) this newsgroup is as a discussion only group. As such it is self-mderated.
Good luck with your ad.
-------------- You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.=20
uttered>Thanks. Sorry I didn't realize that there was a marketplace. Have a>nice day.
Have a look via Google. You'll also find the charter for this NG, as well as two threads *very* recently where other posters have been asked not to post adverts here. r.c.t.marketplace was created a few years ago when the craft-related groups were being swamped with advertising clutter. It's also good netiquette to both read the charter and lurk for a while to get a feel for what is acceptable in any particular forum.
Okay. I apologized three hours before your posted!!.
Have lurked and read quite a few times over the past few years. I have even bought a basic sewing machine for my Daughter from a nice lady that posted it here. I also took a few minutes to check out more in depth messages. I guess *cat bowling* would be considered MORE sewing related than an Embroidery Machine that a person who SEWS may like to purchase. I know I am more interested in sewing machines for sale than cat games, but I guess it depends who is posting.

I am sure the above has irritated you also, so I will apologize again.
Be aware this is truly a global newsgroup and the poster may not live in the same time zone as you.
Also, different 'ways' of reading or posting to newsgroups will affect 'when' a post shows up. For example, posting via the Google interface is amazingly time consuming, new posts can take up to a day or more to appear!
Just say>Okay. I apologized three hours before your posted!!.

The post to which you refer was part of some daft banter and light relief floating around following a fairly long-lasting thread which wandered all over the place. Which you would know if you'd been around for more than five mins. Incidentally, I found in the Google archive a grand total of *one* (count it - one) post from you on any topic whatsoever, and that was from 2003 and over in alt.sewing. You asked for opinions/ information about software, but volunteered/ contributed absolutely nothing yourself. Presumably this sums up your level of interest?
Those of us who actually SEW as you put it (and I do, for a living as it happens) do have additional topics of conversation. Those of us wanting to buy a machine will go and look for one - and then possibly ask around to see what anyone actually knows about a particular marque/ model. We can all work a search engine sufficiently to find the classifieds. I remember the rec.crafts groups in the late 1990s when Ebay started up, and I doubt any of us really want to go back there..
I re-iterate: this was one of a number of groups some time ago which was being swamped with potty little adverts - some of them sewing related, but not all. Look in the archives fromm1997-98 onwards and you'll find the discussions - I took part in some of them, even.
rct.marketplace is immediately adjacent to this group in the Google groups list. Its name does give a *bit* of a clue.

NAME: rec.crafts.marketplace CHARTER: This group will get all the ads for fiber, fabric, crafts supplies and so on that otherwise would clutter the other rec.crafts groups. This should preferably be restricted to individuals or very small companies who really can't afford other advertising.
NAME: rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace CHARTER: This group is for selling, buying, trading, and "jobs offered/sought" postings related to textiles and any of the textile arts. Announcements of textile and textile arts business's web pages are also welcome. Individual, one-time transactions are welcome in this group, as are commercial advertisements.
Actually I have also used AOL to access newsgroups until recently.........so I had to create a google id to use newsgroups again!!! Thank you for your interest!

And actually I SEW for a living too. I create custom handbags and totes. Excuse me for lisiting an ad for a sewing machine. I thought someone would be interested that is fine if you are not. I highly doubt EVERYONE wants you or anyone else speaking for them. I am a nice person and I do not send rude posts to every NON_SEWING comment made out there. Here or on any board. I personally would prefer that a post have SOMETHING TO DO with sewing. Not banter. Not cats.
It really has nothing to do with being nice or not being nice. Ads don't belong here and group members know that. So we really are *not* interested.
And if you didn't know, you could have asked first.
Yes a few ads do get buy,my filters catch a lot, so they don't even show up and so no I don't see/respond to every single ad or off topic post that is posted -- but if I don't respond then someone else usually does. By and large IMHO we're pretty polite about it.
As to off topic posts - the main thing is most are marked OT by our conscious members, giving other members the option to decide whether or not to read them or go onto the next topic.
Which is exactly what I do and what I though people that would NOT be interested in an Embroidery Machine for sale would do. I did not realize it would be so complicated to just NOT read the post if you did not want to. The same way I do with posts about "where are you all" or "cats" or "vacations"
So pardon me when yes I do believe that it does have something to do with *NICE*
I actually had some inquiries from fellow board readers, so NOT EVERYONE shares the same opinion, and that is OKAY!!
Ok, what don't you get. The fact that no ads belong here at all, or that OT posts about cat banter, vacations and where everyone is should be marked OT?
