I think it retailed for around $600 when it first came out a dozen years ago.
But that's not really relevant. If you already have the table to set it up, and you don't mind only having the small throat area of your domestic machine to quilt in.....
But even for $250, it's almost a bargain. If you quilt 4 or 5 baby quilts that might have been sent out to a LA-er, then you've made your money back.
