I bought a used Janome 350E and am very happy with it. I think I paid either $550 or $6oo. I bought it online, site unseen and have been very happy. This is the 2nd used sewing machine I have bought used online and had very good luck. the other was a Babylock Imagine Serger. The serger was from ebay and the Janome was from the Yahoo group Sew Its For Sale. For those that are not members of that group, it does have some good deals. I have bought and sold many things there and have had only good luck.
