I absolutely love my Sapphire 835. I picked one up in May for $750...brand new, standard warranty. My dealer told me that her store would only be carrying Vikings until this summer so the few left were at a great price. If I were you, I would offer a lower price and see where it goes. Or as others have said, ask for them to throw in some accessories. The list price on the 835 on the Viking site is $999. My local Joann store is also selling them for that. Good luck, let us know how you make out. Mary
