kgg Report post Posted July 31, 2024 While doing a quick search on Alibaba for a drop feed cylinder arm sewing machine similar to the Seiko TF-6 I found an interesting yet concerning link.

This is a scam post, hosted on an uncaring Alibaba store. Chinese resellers have been ripping off the Techsew brand name tags in photos they steal from the Techsew website for a couple of years now. They especially like to pretend to sell the model 5100 for beer money. Some unsuspecting schmuck actually gets fooled in to sending them the $600, only to start getting shipping, customs, export fees, and warehousing bills that quintuple the price in no time. One of our Australian members went through that a couple of years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was a first for me seeing such an obvious fake seller trying to peddle well known machine names like Techsew, Weaver and Sailrite. However it is a good reminder for those in the market for a machine to be cautious when dealing with such sites. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
