I can see why they are pricy - they are REALLY COOL & REALLY RARE. $350 probably still costs less than they cost new and there are people paying gobs of money for a new plastic machine and they don't bat an eye. This machine will last for a VERY long time. People will spend more than that on a Bernina and Bernina doesn't have replacement parts. Singer does. The machine does come ready to treadle - we did it on the 401G I have.
