Remember the addage if it sounds too good to be true. Please check them out very carefully and look at the weight of the machine and the materials that the frame is made out of. It looks to me like the frame is either all wood or parts are. Keep in mind that wood no matter how well crafted will expand and contract with the humidity level and you may get some movement or shaking of your frame while you are quilting. This makes it very difficult to control the machine while doing intricate patterns. That said if you are just doing quilting for yourself and really just want to get it done fast and are not a perfectionist I would say that it sounds like a good price.
The 17 " Bailey only weighs 26#. You can choose any frame you want to for your machine and I'm sure you can get a metal Grace frame from Chuck Bailey if you so desire that. Many Bailey users are professional quilters who use their machines all day long every day and have wonderful results.
