I'm going to the local dealer to test drive the new Janome/Horizon 8900 tomorrow, and if I like it I will be asking them if I can trade in my Janome 6600 towards buying the 8900. The 6600 is in pristine shape with everything it came with and I have about $100 worth (retail) of extra feet for it that won't work on the 8900 that I would be including. I bought the 6600 and the extra feet from that dealer just under a year ago so they shouldn't have any concerns about its history. I still have the original packaging!
I've never traded anything in at a dealer before so I'm not sure what a fair deal would be. There's no Kelly Blue Book for sewing machines! (Is there??)
What sort of percentage of original price do you think I should expect to get? I want a baseline idea of what is normally expected before I go in. I realize it probably varies a good deal depending on the machines, local supply/demand, current economy, etc etc but any advice on what to expect is appreciated.
