I get really aggravated at Bernina for re-using the numbers for new sewing machines. I immediately thought of vintage Bernina 730 and was ready to say the price was grossly inflated, then read one of the answers that talked about embroidery and hoops, etc. My Berninas are all from the good old days that are classified as Vintage. Without saying that you are contemplating a buy from an estate, I would tell a dealer that I have an $800 limit, or less, and ask if you can get all the extras that are offered in the estate sale. Sometimes when we stew about buying something that seems too good to be true, the item will have disappeared by the time I make a decision, so then I am saved from myself.
