I paid $700 for one with the hard case, extension table, knee lift, walking foot, 16 feet, dozens of bobbins, and some other accessories. Love it! I use it less than I planned b/c I have other machines, but I still think I got a great deal and I don't plan to sell it. There's a yahoo group called Berninathirtysomethings about older Berninas incl the 930, and lots of info about them on patternreview.com. This machine is definitely worth having serviced. When I bought mine, it had been serviced very recently, which just sweetened the deal. The gal that sold it to me was SO nice, a QB member. It's very precise and powerful. It has a long basting stitch, I'd keep it just for that. Most of the 930s have needle up/down by tapping the heel of the foot pedal. Mine is a 1983, early model, so it doesn't have this (darn!).
