I agree with anangel, I will go to Kens they have used machines at a very good price, but i have seen the Brother 700 around 700 dollars at Brands smart, I do not know how is the machine, i have two brothers I am very happy with them, my machine technitian told me the ULT serie is very good he likes it very much, i saw one at ebay but i am very afraid buying electronics through e bay. Good luck!
Dean, check out www.kenssewingcenter.com for new, refurbished, and gently loved machines at most reasonable prices. Shipping is often free.
I am not affiliated; just a happy customer. Ken's has a great reputation for customer service, and has been in business for many years.

I am purchasing a Brother PR-620 for $2500 extra low hours cap hoop, 4 rectangles, PE Design Ver 7 sealed, stabilizer, stand and tools. I found it on Craigslist and is only a little over an hour away.
While I have been looking I saw some on Ebay for $2500 including shipping. They wanted you to contact them from their personal email. I did and asking how it would work. the person said he would create an invoice from ebay to send him all my info and we would continue from there. I went back to look at the machine and all 3 he had up were gone. When I asked him what happen he stated he took them off for me and just send the info. I felt uncomfortable about it now so I just didn't do anything more. I was still watching ebay and yesterday the 3 machines are back by a different seller. not sure if it is a rip off or not just didn't feel right to me.
were is your location I have seen a lot of nice machines all over the country on craigslist.
Be VERY CAREFUL on Craiglist. I have heard so many horror stories of scams and almost got into one myself.
I would be VERY CAREFUL about any seller on E-Bay that is asking you to send personal information outside of E-Bay...there are warnings by E-Bay about contacting vendor outside of E-Bay...
jerrib how on craigslist when you go pick the item up yourself, I have not given a dime to them until I get the machine. I work to hard to send money to anyone without knowing it is a real thing. Item in hand is the best way for me to go.
I bought a Babylock ellegante and an Ellissimo off eBAY. Never had ANY doubt about the transaction. I later sold both and offered freebies(fabric, thread, etc)No problems at all.
I got my baby brother off ebay, however it was a lot less than what you are spending. My big machine I purchased used off craigslist.
