Nabobw is right. I have several used Bernina's that sew wonderful for a very good price. My DD, DL, and niece also sew on used Bernina machines and the love them. I have a 930 ($25. I nearly knocked the lady down to pay her at a yard sale),a 150($1200 came with very nice cabinet and several boxes of fabric), a 163 ($700 included a very old laptop that can be used to change stitches), and a 200 I bought brand new. My DD has a 1060 that we paid $500. My niece has a 160 that we bought for $700, and my DIL has a 180 embroidery machine we bought for $1000. The Bernina is a wonderful machine. You can check Craig's list in your area, I have had good luck on eBay. You can also look on the yahoo group, "Sewitsforsale". All of these Berninas sew wonderful and are loved. We have a 2nd home is why I have several and no, I don't really need that many...but I seem to have turned into a sewing machine collector...or just a nut case. Hope this helps you in your choices. My friends have told me I am very lucky to find these machines for such good prices. I think I am persistent in searching within a price range.
