Estate sale machine advice needed today!!
This morning I went to an estate sale that featured a Bernina 230 for $550.00. The receipt showed that the machine was purchased in 2006 for $975. I was able to do a beautiful straight stitch with the machine really didn't have time to read the manual and familiarize myself with the machine. I contacted a Bernina dealer before I went who said a newer machine in great condition would be worth about $500. Every little lady that stopped to see the machine said that they thought the price was WAY too high. I offered $350 and they countered at $450. Tomorrow I will go back and see if it's still available. Would $350/400 be a fair price for this machine or still too much? Thanks for your input!!
