I don't know of a Bernina that you can get under $500. I have a Bernina 200e for sale and the LQS where I purchased it said they would ask $3 - 4,000. I currently have it for sale at a LQS where I purchased my 830 Bernina and asking $2 - $2500. Only has a total of 90 hours on it and I've been the only owner.
