Do you think this is worth $125. I offered $100 and he counter offered. I don't really mind that price but then the shipping is $37.

I really wanted the 500 but from what I'm reading the only difference is the looks...this is still cheaper than the 500's and I can learn to live without the space age look..lol
The 401s' are great too. Internal cam stack, AND takes top hats (which are easily found). All metal, for the most part. People love them. They fit in lots of cabinets and even a card table (see the ISMACS site for Singer cabinets). I have a 403 (the less glitzy version)... and it sews very nicely. I paid $125 for machine (403a), the case, the attachments/book, AND the card table. (which was a great deal).
What do you mean by less glitzy :). there is a 403a that may be cheaper with no case.

Will these 400 and 500 run sitting on a table or do they have to be in something?

And thanks for your help!
