About 4 years ago I bought a new Janome. The place of purchase told me they would take off $1000.00 if I would bring a machine in for a trade. I didn't have an extra machine , so I went to a thrift store and bought one for $10.00.
The machine didn't have to work at all, actually I didn't even open the old girl. Just carried it to the store and bought a new Janome for a $1000.00 less. Good deal ! ! !
