I started with the D1 and later bought my daughter a D1 that she is still using...I loved it and wish I had kept it for a 2nd machine. I have the Diamond now. I Still use Embird as my program to resize and combined and transfer, a nice program for the price. You should ask how old the machine is and if they are the original owner. Are they giving you any floppys or designs with it? I don't think most computers have a floppy drive on them any more so you would have to get one. It looks like a nice machine. These were the top of the line machines at one time. I bought my first one on Ebay for 3500. You can check out ebay and see what they are selling for.
