Hi, I have no idea what to ask for a used Arrow Bertha cabinet. It is in good shape, has a hydraulic lift for the machine. I got a new machine that was bigger than the opening on the Bertha so I got a new cabinet. Don't need 2 as I can use my old machine with the new cabinet.
They retail for $1,299 now, mine is about 10 years old.
Any ideas on what a fair price would be?
Thanks

I don't know. I sold my old Horn cabinet with a smaller opening as I had originally used it for my Viking 500....it was too small for the D1. It was an older air-lift that you had to pull the little plastic loop on the air-lift. It also just had one little leaf on the left side that opened up. She asked me how much I wanted and I said $50. I could tell she was a bit surprised at the high cost but agreed as it was in good shape. A week or so she called me and said she loved having her machine in a cabinet and that she had gotten a real bargin.

You could try googling "Arrow sewing cabinet for sale near me" and see if anything comes up to give you a reference.

Here's a link to allbrands.com showing what the Bertha cabinet sells for when new.

Regular household furniture loses more than half its value when it leaves the showroom so use that as a starting point also.

Any one looking to buy an Arrow cabinet knows the cost of a new one. Set a fair price you are comfortable with, to me that would be at least $300 and be firm on it.
