There are many Facebook quilt groups that have Accuquilt for sale pages. They are bought as soon as they are listed. You won't get $500 for it though, the new ones aren't that expensive. Usually around $150-$200 is the selling price for a pre owned one, new or used.

I started with the Go and have recently purchased the Big Go. I use the cutter for all quilts. I especially like using the cutter for appliqué shapes. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. The Go allows me to keep quilting!

I have used duct tape on a cracked mat and it worked fine. But butt ugly. LOL

Haven't read all the posts yet but I have the Go Big Electric. LOVE IT!!! And yes, it is worth the money. I have my regular Go away because my shoulder couldn't handle the cranking.

I am considering getting one, I am a lousy cutter and like to use precuts, this would definitely be useful.

- yes, the scale up is ELECTRIC. lay the die down, off it goes. And , no, not all dies fit thru the baby.

I have the GoBig (electric) and can tell you that I use it at least for parts of every quilt I make--it's so easy and well worth the extra $$--saves my shoulder, saves my hand, makes my cuts more accurate, is faster, and since it's the full size, I know that I can use ANY of the dies they make for Go's.
