I used to sell Vikings in the JoAnns stores and we usually marked our floor models about $100 off. Keep in mind that the sewing machines aren't really used alot. People come in a test drive but really they just sit there most of the time. The embroidery machines are usually going constantly so I would have to have a lot more off of them. The machines have to be checked out by a tech before selling them so you would have that assurance. Is this the 875 or the 850?
