Appropriate Price for Gently Used Janome New Home?
I just asked about upgrading to an embroidery machine. I am thinking about selling my very lightly used Janome New Home with the computerized stitch function with I think 96 stitches. I have the original box and all of the attachments and manuals. I bought it in December of 2013 but it has not been used much.
How much should I ask for this machine?
I fix and sell old sewing machines but I am not sure of the value of modern machines

I would look for sold listings on ebay to get an idea of prices. Janome is the new name for the New Home brand. There are many models within the brand, so you will need to look for your specific model.

Prices vary across the country, usually it's always lower than we want when we are selling and too high when we are buying!
Best thing to do is to simply do a search on the exact model name number and see what comes up. You will probably get nationwide matches and look for some local ones -- always looking at the dates for current values. Keep in mind that prices something are offered at are not always prices things are sold at.
In my Seattle area word is that Craig's List person to person sales are down and shipments are up.

Another point of view for you to consider. Keep the sewing machine if you like how it sews. Then you can buy an embroidery only machine. If you want a combo machine, keep the other one for a back up. The embroidery machine will need a service some time and that way you will have a machine to use.

You can never have too many sewing machines (unless you fill up your rooms from the floor to the ceiling with them!). Keep yours with no regrets.

I agree with keeping it as a spare unless you already have one (or more).
Supply and demand usually determines pricing. There seems to be a lot of second hand machines out there, not to mention incredibly inexpensive new machines that have some decent features.
