I paid $40 including the table, case, book, attachments and extras. Its in excellent condition. It belonged to the girl's deceased mother and she just wanted to sell it! She asked at my friends quilt guild, but nobody was interested, so my friend called me. I called the girl and met her at a local super market and purchased it immediately. Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time. Don't lose heart, your turn will come.
