Current listings:

Completed listings:
http://completed.shop.ebay.com/Sewin...c0.m283&_rdc=1

Obviously, the different attachments included with each machine will affect the prices.

But it's a starting point.
Actually, I traded my 440 in on the 730, so got a totally fantastic deal! However, I did win a Janome Gem Silver and didn't need it, so DH made a deal with my Bernina dealer with out me knowing it and I now have the new 330 for use as a travel machine.

So keep in mind that gently used Berninas are great and the dealers will take other brands as trade.
