Default Did I make a good deal?

Okay, after much soal searching and wondering, I bid on and won a brand new Phaff 1.5 Ambition sewing machine on ebay last night. It is still in its original unopened box. I bid 670.00 & with shipping the total price was 723.83. I am excited, but not sure if it is a good deal or not. Most Phaffs I have seen run over 1000.00. Too late to change my mind now, so good deal or not, I am getting a new machine. Can't wait till I get it. You opinions, please.

If you are satisfied with the price and the reputation of the machine then it is a great deal! Enjoy it! There will always be a better deal somewhere but I always figure I'm not somewhere, I'm here. LOL

Everything I buy I price shop, but once I have made the purchase I don't look anymore because you will drive your self crazy doing that. Just enjoy your new machine.

Be sure to pay for insurance on the machine! The handling in transit can be brutal.
