When I upgraded to my HQ Avante I used my Sweet16 as a trade in. My dealer gave me a great deal, brought my new machine in & set it up and picked up the old trade in at the same time. Totally hassle free. My (16) was 12 years old and had stitched millions of stitches. He knocked almost $3,000 off the price of the new machine. I know I never would have received that much selling on my own.
