You may find a pre-owned Gammill for a decent price...but....what I consider a decent price may not be, to you. I bought one new and have put it through its' paces, as I quilt professionally and also for my family and for charities. My advice is to buy the best one you can afford and take good care of it. Also, I would stick with a well-known brand name...there's something to say about the fact that they are well-known...they generally will meet your expectations a little more. Good luck, and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
