I see them occasionally for as little as $50 in fair to good condition. Yet people often ask $400. The prices vary so much that I think it's a good idea to monitor your local craigslist for a while to see what prices are in your area. You may find that the same machine keeps going down in price from week to week. It's also a good idea to start going out to see the machines, so that you will have a comparison when you find the one you really want. Good luck!
