soooo, for awhile i'll be using a dsm with it. is this a decent price? any tips/concerns to be on the look out for? it's my first foray into quilting with a quilting frame....

You got a steal, in my opinion, and you're going to love it. I began freehand quilting on a DSM with NO FRAME and quilted lots of quilts that way---up to full size. Then I got a Grace frame and used a Juki DSM (9" harp, I think) with it. Thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. I now have a Gammill longarm because I do lots of custom quilting for others, but if all you want to do is quilt your own quilts, you're set, girl. Congratulations!!!
