Just wondering if it is the kind of thing you can buy used or if it would be better if I bought it new instead. The seller is asking 150 $ for it and I was thinking about offering 120$. All opinions and ideas welcome!

If there is some sort of return or refund option it might be okay. I would want to be sure it heated up and stayed hot. Think of how irons act when they go bad, you don't want that with a press. FWIW I love my Elnapress that I purchased last year I wanted one for over 20 years and finally did it. I never want to be without one again!

If it were me, I'd be comfortable buying it if you could fire it up and make sure she works. :) I had one in the 80's that I parted with in the late 90s when I moved. Just bought the Opal this summer then traded it up to get the sexy red one. I love these... :) I also bought a brand spankin new-in-the-box Alize (discontinued about 2 years ago by what I was told)... for $50 on Craigslist. The thing had never been turned on. The ad was poorly written so most people that sew would never have seen it. I turned around and wrote a better ad and sold it for $225 a week later. :) One more thing... if its not too late... do a little internet digging around. Seems there is a Singer and an Artistic brand of these out there these days for sale for *a lot* less than what Elna is getting for theirs. ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel. My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it. 2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold 1970's: Elna SU62 & ElnaPress
