No matter how many machines you have, one CANNOT pass up a Bernina for $25! I have been eye-ing a 301 LBOW for $50 on CL. I have three 301's already, two of which are LBOW's. I just need ONE black long-bed to find me! With twenty in my stable, I am becoming pickier. I still think it is better to pay more for a really nice one than fritter away money and time trying to find the bargains. I missed out on a truly lovely 15-89 last week b/c I was too cheap. Saver's remorse, I think! Of course, I LOVE the bargains too and I have had my share.
