I know, that's dumb to be worried about a used serger. It's 7 years old, has just been serviced at the sewing machine shop where I service my new machine and comes with a 6 month warranty so there's nothing to be worried about, right? This is the serger I want and after I sell my Janome it will be a wash ($250-ish).

I think I need hand-holding (again!) and someone to tell me to just go for it. I'm going to see it tomorrow morning and try it out at the owner's workplace.

It's not dumb. Try it out - no reason it shouldn't have loads of use left and years of service - again - try it out!Have fun.

What are you waiting for? Seriously, I love mine and if you want a good machine, I don't see how you could go wrong, especially if it comes with a warranty.

I do think the price is a bit high, but then if you can sell your Janome for the same price, go for it.

Unfortunately that doesn't include Canada. No free shipping, and only a 30 day warranty plus I would need to send it back to them if something was wrong.

Sherril, she's actually asking for $285 but I was going to try to get it for $200 if it was in good working order. I know she's trying to get back the $100 or so that she spent on servicing the machine plus she needs to pay for her new Babylock . If she won't move from that price then I'm going to order my 654 from Toronto and get the one year warranty for $500 CAD.

Oh, and it looks like I sold my Janome for $250
