Bernina and MSRP posted on the website

Date: 12/22/12 8:58 PM I went looking at the 710 since LynnRowe started a thread about bringing one home. To my amazement, Bernina has posted the MSRP of the 710 as $4599. All their machines are listed with their MSRPs. Finally, a sewing manufacturer with some sense! It is no longer a mystery. Hopefully, the other manufacturers will follow suit. I was surprised!

More manufacturers need to do this. :) ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear?

Most dealers I have spoken to say their prices are pretty much dictated by the manufacturer, so why not post prices on their websites. I do hope others will follow Bernina's lead. It would make shopping at home, before you see your dealer, a lot less frustrating.

I was offered 6700.00 selling price for the new 750qe machine including the embroidery unit. She gave me a Bernina coupon book with a 500 off card to use but when i got home to discuss it with spouse he noticed it stated in small type that it wasnt valid for any 7 series machines. Ouch! The only one she has is her floor model which i used to try out. She did say all newer ones are being held by Bernina as they replace the 'problems' they found in production so if i order one it wont be available till late March 'maybe'. This price is not including tax... of course. Would this be an acceptable price? Ehat do you all think?

If I go back and find she's gone up, in light of the problems, I'd walk out! I really wanted to be able to add designs, and add sewing stitches to embroidery. The 780 is so high, but part of me says I should get what I want. My pocketbook, OTOH, says Oh no you don't! -- Edited on 12/26/12 8:20 PM -- ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
