The 200 series is no longer made. The price asked is about what it sold for new. If it's new and she never used it why doesn't she have the manual? They are 3/4 size machines and great to take to class as they weigh about 17 llbs. I'm not completley sure but I think the 240 is the only one of that series made in Switzerland. Personnaly I probably wouldn't pay more than $800
The Activa's and the Artista's are two completly different animals. The artista's are a full size machine, weigh about 30 to 35 llbs and are built like a tank. They also have many more bells and whistles. I know because I have one.
