om...
(or who are willing to give that up for the
lower initial price). Realistically you can get your sewing machine
serviced at any local retailer even if you didn't buy your machine
there.


Don't like? Go bitch to the manufacturers. It's their policy.


You go back and forth on your next point:



Not at all. Read it again. If you still don't understand, have someone else
read it and explain it to you.


The manufacturers
put these restrictions on the dealers to keep people from going to their
local sewing machine dealer , trying out a machine, asking questions and
otherwise taking up that dealers time then going online and buying at

the
cheapest price.
Manufacturers are not doing the local dealers a favor, they are ensuring

a
quality of service to their customers.



You mentioned car manufacturers among the businesses that have similar

restrictions. This is a good point. I understand that these two
industries are drastically different. By no means am I making a
direct comparison here... One difference between the car industry and
the sewing machine industry is that the car industry has adapted to
the existence of the internet and the flurry of information that is
out there for consumers to read before making a purchase.


Type "sewing machine" into Google. Ever try that.
What's your next lame bitch?


The sewing machine business has not adapted to this yet, it seems.


See above. Try it some time.

Anyway, that's my $.02. Take it or leave it, I suppose :-)


I'll leave it. It's not worth having.
