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.

No point in second guessing. Enjoy your new machine.

A decision made is a decision honored, therefore enjoy your new machine.....

Hi everyone, I am a new member, I have enjoyed reading your comments in the Quilting Board also have learned a lot about quilting and plan on being able to start making quilts with your comments and guidance.

Sounds like you are happy with your purchase, so don't second guess yourself, enjoy it!

From what I've seen of them it is a good deal. Enjoy!

Do not sweat it, just enjoy your new machine!!!!!!!

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

Sounds to me like you make a very good deal (MSRP is $1200) and it has quite a feature list. I think you'll be very happy.

Of course I am a bit biased since all I use are Pfaff's but that's because they work well for me and will for you also.

I looked up the machine, it sounds like a great machine and the price can't be beat. Like shawnan said its a $1200 machine.

Yes, you made a good deal. They are $1000-ish in my area.

If you love your new machine...it's a great deal. Enjoy!!!!

You got an excellent deal. That was a little under the show price I got mine for at the Quilt Expo. I really love the machine. It has a ton of features for the price, sews straight (love the IDT) and true. Congratulations

Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy!

As bellaboo said if you like it it's a good deal. If not then you don't use it. It is a good price plus that machine is nice. That machine has renewed my faith in them. It sees nicely and is quiet.

I've had the same Pfaff for 10+ years (but who's counting) and enjoy using it. She gets a once a year tune up and purrs along nicely. I hope you will like yours just as much. Sounds like quite the machine. Are you thinking of naming her?

I have owned a Pfaff 7550 for over 15 years and love it. I am sure you will enjoy your new machine. Just give yourself a chance to learn on it prior to starting a project. You need to bond with the machine.

YOU MADE A GREAT DEAL PFAFF MACHINES ARE GOOD MACHINES AND THEY DO RUN ABOUT 1200 DOLLARS IN MY AREA... SO I THINK U DID GOOD...:thumbup:

I hadn't thought about purchasing insurance, but a good idea! Enjoy your new machine.

Welcome Chiny I think we all enjoy and learn something every day
