Bernina 820 info, looking to buy
#1
I just found a slightly used bernina 820, for $3000. That sounds like a good price, I think they are much more. Apparently it is 6 months old. Can anyone give me more info on this model. I think it has A large harp, duel feed, I think Bernina has a function for free motion,
How do you like this machine if you have one?
have you had any issues at all?
Is there anything I should know?
The last machine I bought has been nothing but a lot of money and problems, I don't want to make that mistake again. I have contacted the seller, so we will see, I think this would be a great machine but I haven't even been to a dealer to test drive, so am hesitant.

Be very careful. If it is via Craigslist don't even consider it. If it isn't, it is too good of a price to be true. The machine is excellent, but see how long is a few months. The first machines that came out in November 2009 and were distributed to dealers were samples and didn't have all the features. Also there were a few glitches that were worked out later. Be very careful. Is a good price, but still a lot of money.

The Craigslist scam in my area was $1200 for an 820! The email response usually makes it pretty darn clear if it is a scam. On the ones I have seen recently, the seller has suddenly had to move across county for work and the new employer is providing a new computer - nope, the idiots can't even keep the scam straight, lol.
Close to half price may possibly be genuine, but be careful. In addition to my CV, I got a similar deal on a Sailrite LS-1.
