Sounds like a good deal to me. I owned a Babylock Ellure about 6 years ago until I upgraded. I never had any problems with it and it sewed and embroidered great. I paid $1100.00 for it new and 3 years later, the dealer where I bought it gave me $1000.00 trade in value. Of course, she said they couldn't sell it for that but for that, I couldn't pass up trading it in. I bought the smart box on ebay to transfer the designs. I don't have that anymore.
