Like Miriam, I price my machines for resale at a very good price considering the service I've done on them and my local market. I always put "firm on price" on the ad if I do think I'm being extremely fair, and that typically cuts out the dickerers. I've only been insulted one time in all my sales, by someone who emailed me that I had a "ONLY a Brother badged machine worth $40 tops". I kindly responded that if she/he knew of where one could buy more of these fully serviced, excellent condition $40 machines to kindly let me know as I would buy a bunch!! They never told me where the secret stash was. Hmmm.....
