Date: 3/3/13 11:00 AM Hi. There's a Brother Innovis 2800D available locally via private sale. The seller has listed it for $2200, but is willing to go down to $2000. Is this a fair price? ------ Old black Singer (99?), Viking Designer SE, Pfaff Creative 4.0, Viking Tribute 140C, and Babylock Eclipse DX |

Date: 3/3/13 12:48 PM Have you checked with the sewing machine reviews (left side bar). There should be prices as well as when this machine was purchased.
Like motor vehicles, sewing machines loose value as soon as the dealer closes the deal.
Ask for a demo and then you try the various functions before making a purchase regardless if the machine is new or used. |

Date: 3/3/13 7:14 PM The machine is 10 months old and the pictures look good. I'd have to see them in person. There aren't many reviews on this machine and only one (I think) has a price, so I thought I'd just put it out there. ------ Old black Singer (99?), Viking Designer SE, Pfaff Creative 4.0, Viking Tribute 140C, and Babylock Eclipse DX |

Date: 3/3/13 8:42 PM Check completed listings on ebay for current prices. There were 3 when I checked. 2 new went for around $3000 and a used one was ~$1800 (including shipping). The used machine probably would have sold for more had the seller made more of an effort. There was no picture of the machine at all, just the box.  ------ Doo-doo-DOO-doo, Doo-doo-DOO-doo......
