Thanks ladies for all your help I appreciate it. I was thinking it was a little high b/c compared to eBay they seem to run about $100. But I have been hearing that a lot of people are getting machines that were in worse off condition then described. So getting a machine thats been service and I know works is worth the money!

Yes, lots of "cheaper" ebay machines arrive damaged or missing the bobbin case (which can cost upwards of $50). So these bargains are not such good bargains. I would ALWAYS pay a bit more for a local machine that I'm certain is working and from a trusted source than an unknown seller via ebay. Plus you can have it right away and not have to wait for shipping :>

That's about what I paid for the one I bought on ebay without shipping. I had to have her serviced as well. So you will be saving shipping charges and the service fee. If you get her, I don't think you will be sorry to have her.
