I bought mine used a month ago but it was only used a couple of times and was like new. I paid $800 for it and I love it. The acufeed system is wonderful. I would check on EBay. My dealer sells them new for $1500. but I'm sure you can find them cheaper than that. I actually bought it as a backup because my Viking was going in the shop, but now I think it will be my main machine. Love my Viking too tho.
