$250 is a little high if there isn't a case and it's moving slowly. I've gotten 3 machines here in Michigan, all in very good condition. The most I paid was $225 and that one had a lot of extra attachments. The other two were much cheaper... $100, and they run perfectly. I know it seems like there aren't any out there when you're looking for that 1st precious FW but they are there and you just have to look in lots of places and be ready to snatch it up when it appears. Good luck.
