I have a designer 1. I've had it for quite some time and I still love it. I don't do embroidery on it much anymore. There is a learning curve to it, but once you get it down your good to go. You can still get floppies. Check online or go to an office store. I have thousands of embroidery designs already so I don't even look for new ones. It is not a bad machine at all. I've only had one thing go wrong with mine and that is the backstitch button wore out and I had to have it replaced. This machine has been owned by my mom and myself from when it was new so I know everything that happened to it. The price seems fair for what I can see of them going for. I would go for it.
