I bought my Janome 3050DC on line. At the time they were selling for $750.00, I got mine brand new shipped from the warehouse for $400.00, no taxes and no shipping. I bought it from a Janome dealer on line. I was already familiar with this machine, my sister has one, and I had used hers. Its a great machine. This is the time of year I bought mine, so there are probably good deals to be had out there, as it's the end of the year.
