That sounds like a lot for a used 6 needle machine...

Me personally would be very hesitant to purchase it from e-bay. What about support after? Before you purchase check on the prices of the current 6 needle versions. I agree with dradonflyer The price seems to high

You would have to do a lot of towels to recover that outlay.

I agree it sounds quite expensive for a used machine. Personally, I recommend going to a dealer and asking about a used or traded in machine. You will get lessons and tech support. I am also one who is leery about purchasing a used machine from EBay. Let us know what you decide.

Hi and thanks for reposting here and I can see that your getting answers to your questions. I'm in the UK and paid less for a PR650 that was my dealers demo machine. My dealer has quite a number of machines brought to him for service that have been bought on ebay as 'lightly used' but my dealer says clapped out is a better description. If you are wanting to spend such an amount on a machine go and get a good one. I have almost a 3 hour journey ONE way and the service that I have from my dealer is well worth the hassle of getting there and back. In the UK its possible to buy in instalments from dealers so is this a option where you are? Its possible for me to buy a new 670e for a few dollars more than your thinking of buying a secondhand machine. Have a look at the link I have posted as its was a similar question. Please do let us know what you decide and yes the 650 is a great machine especially when you want to have a run of the same stitch out. What machine do you have at the moment?
