Anyone know where I can buy a sewing machine, new or used? I know Wing-On carries them, but they are very expensive. Any ideas?

Or does anyone have one for sale?

You can try Yahoo Auctions, where I found some today:
http://hk.search.auctions.yahoo.com/search/ac?p=singer

Probably that link will expire so Google it. Also Brother makes reliable sm's and they sell locally, I got their industrial machine link but they do sell home machines too.

Also try the newly opened Spotlight, they just opened a branch in HK and they sell machines in the $1000-$4000 range (they told me by phone). HTH!

I just gotten mine today from the Singer shop today. It's model 8280, purchased it for HKD 1938. I called Uny (Taikoo) but they said they don't bring in any at the moment. Yue Hwa had no response via their hotline, so I popped down to the Singer shop directly. If anyone's keen on Singer machines, it seems there are 3 branches (info as per my receipt.)

HK Branch: Shop No. 3, G/F, Tung Hing Court, 88 Queen's Road West, Hong Kong. (tel: 25590183)

Kowloon Branch: Shop No. G18, G/F, Golden Plaza, 745-747 Nathan Road, Kowloon, (tel: 27713571) - <directions: Prince Edward MTR, Exit C1, turn right.>

New Territories: Shop No. C37, 1/F, Hop Yick Plaza, Tai Tong Road, Yuen Long, N.T. (tel: 24783139)

Happy shopping & sewing!!!

Enjoy your new machine... I ended up getting one from Spotlight. With working hours here I don't do any construction sewing anymore but enjoy my machine to tweak RTW clothes for a better fit: re-hemming, nipping the waist for some shape (what is it with these shapeless tunics these days???) It's very handy. Happy sewing!
