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.

thank you for all the comments! i'm still trying to decide...and am wondering....why NOT get the go Baby? the cubes work with it...and enough of the other dies. any reason to scale up to the regular size go?

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.
