My best friend has a 1229, which is why she gave me her 1222E. She paid 400.00 for hers used, 2 years ago. The original sales receipt was with the machine and if I recall it was close to 2,000.00 but it did have a very fancy, schmancy corner sewing desk included in that price.
You should check out patternreview.com there are a couple reviews of the machine. One said they paid 1200.00 24 years ago.
