The only used machine I found locally that looks like something I would be interested in is a Babylock Decorator's Choice (BLDC2) that I found on Craigslist. The seller says it was purchased in 2007 or 2008 and she does sew much anymore, so she is selling it. I asked when it was serviced last, and she said it was serviced in the fall when she decided to make some skirts.

Do you guys think this is worth buying? I am not sure if $350 is a good price. It looks like they don't make this model anymore, and it was somewhere around $800 to $1000 originally from what I have been able to find while googling. It has been listed for a couple months, so maybe I could get it for less. What do you guys think is a fair price? Or should I pass it up?

(and bonus points to anyone that can find the weight of this machine)

Thanks!!
