Most of the dealers in my area are not really taking in trade ins. I found that one of the best/easiest way to try to sell one is to advertise in any sewing groups you belong to and place an ad (very cheap) in your local guild newsletter.

I have always seen a similarity between sewing machines salesmen and used car salesmen. So probably the rate of return would be the same when trading in your older used car. I dislike doing business with either but one must when either breaks down and stops running efficiently !!!

Oh, another neat thing about the 8900 (if anybody is still reading this novel I'm writing, LOL) - the FMQ foot has changeable feet-ends, it comes with 3 different ends; metal closed-toe, metal open-toe, and this big round clear plastic closed-toe end that I am seriously coveting. I wanted to find out if that foot fits on the 6600 and can be bought separately, darn it, I forgot to ask. To Google I go!

Not sure but I know that at the Viking dealer they go buy what Viking tells them the current market value is. You could contact Janome or do an online search or check eBay. I know its hard to find prices online for machines; its like a well guarded secret. My Viking dealer list prices for new, trade ins and now they are doing consignments and it all on their web site. Everyone should do that.
