I was looking for one and kept bidding, but decided I wouldn't pay more than $300 for one. I lost several that went for $305, etc. but sure they would have went higher had I kept bidding. Then I saw one and I just placed a $200 big, figuring I would not get it, but when I got to work on Monday morning, I had an email that said I got it, for $179. I figure it didn't go as high because the case had a broken latch and was a little rough. My DSIL suggested I take it to a local Amish man that works on leather and stuff, I think he will do a good job at a reasonable price. I LOVE that machine, My DGD is learning and sews on it quite a bit, she likes it too. The seller was a top rated seller with 100% possitive feedback, I think that is what you should watch for! Good luck with finding YOUR baby, If it needs a little cleaning and adjusting, Billy is great, he helped me get the bobbin case installed correctly with one simple sentence!
