There are several places online that will give you the value of any sewing machine "according to the blue book", or, as mentioned earlier, you can ask at most dealers. Neither option costs anything. Why would you need to get a copy of the book for yourself and have to update it from year to year?

Cuz we can??? LOL
That's like asking why do you cut the fabric up when you turn around and sew it back together again?
Cuz we can?
I would think that you would consider from year to year that modern machines depriciate(sp), but that if you were on the look out for a decent machine it could come in handy. :-D

You wouldn't need to update it every year just to have a general figure. I'm just curious what the different prices on many brands are currently. You could say the same about automobile blue books too and many people own them and find them useful.

THanks. I think this book would be handy to have when you go to garage sales etc. And it would also be handy to show people (sometimes) that what they're asking for the machine is WAY, WAY too high.

Try this http://sewingonline.info/books/
scroll down to about the bottom of the page and you will see the Blue book of sewing machines. This one says 2002 to 2004 but it may have an update.
Oh Man just clicked on the buy button and it says product not found. :hunf:
Well I tried....
:XD:

Do you mean cabinets? Not sure..
Butterflywings site was pretty cool though. It covers longarms, but still alot of info.
You may be able to go to different manufacturers websites to get ideas for used machines.
But one problem, they (the manufacturers)are going to inflate their prices even for used and the abilities of their machines as well.
I agree that a "Blue Book" would come in handy.
Have you tried consumer reports? They are unbiased.
