I just realized that you used a tag in the subject for the company. I looked them up and they are indeed a real company, located in Indonesia. Are you also in Indonesia? Your profile says nothing about where you live (please update it)

Thanks for your reply. How did you find information about Permata Sewing? I’ve been searching internet to find reviews on this company to determine their validity for trustful business dealings. BTW I’ve updated my profile for my location.

seems they are using pictures from other companies or from Ebay and prices are kind of low.

Sample:

http://permatasewing.com/products.php?product=Singer-108-w-20-cylinder-arm-style-Unison

I just set up a Singer 108w my self so I know the they use pictures from Ebay:

So I would be careful with this Company.

The warning bells in my head are chiming in loud and clear, too. Most of the used sewing machine offerings on the Permata sewing website seem too good to be true, with prices too low, pictures taken anywhere but Indonesia, and descriptive text copied from other websites. My sample check was that Cobra Class 4, the text is copied from the Cobra website, and googling Cobra Class-4 pictures brings up that same machine in front of the same garage door from various websites. 

You're better off checking in with a reputable dealer in Texas, like @SolarLeatherMachines of Solar Leather , or one of our trusty vendors in the banner ads. More expensive but also more real.

In their "webmaster's" haste to copy and paste someone else's site, they have also left the original business name all over the place " building supplies"..Their SEO specialist understands Google well though, ( not that it is difficult to fool G ) they have a "six pack" when you search their domain name...

There appear to be traces of the same company name in Malaysia..

I'd tend to agree with Constabulary and Uwe..I would not send them any funds, not even via an LC..

There is someone on here from Indonesia, I can't remember his name ATM, he has large stock of unusual machines that he has inherited, was posting frequently last year , maybe he can shed some light.. he might be close enough to them to be able to say whether they have machines or are just an address and a website ..

To all who have posted a replies. They have on their website a Campbell cyclone sticher listed for $2400.00. I thought this was way to low a price for said machine. Photo of said machine was taken for an old eBay listing. I mistakenly replied to a email from them. Hope they don’t hack my computer for indentity theft. Thanks for all your insites. I will not send any money. I am looking for a good used Campbell or Randall machine.

You can get a good used Campbell Randall in Texas, direct from the company!

That would seem to be the far more sensible and secure option.
