I found one too at a yard sale last Sat. Brand new in the box, never even opened. It was the pink limited edition with a price tag of $34.95 on it. "I paid $1 for it". Also got a black plastic 9 drawer cabinet for $5 with 20 spools of brand new Floriani Decorative embroidery thread in one of the drawers and about 15 small spools brand new Sulky threads in another drawer and several hand made lace doilies in another drawer. Couldn't pass it up for $5.
