I asked around and found that you shouldn't pay more than $1000 for a used machine. If you are selling it, remember that buyers won't pay for shipping.
I have heard that the machine is very touchy, and somewhat difficult to use if you are not a professional. It does many tasks very effeciently, but the controls are not user friendly.
If you are buying one make sure it isn't a salvage from a freight accident or from the Katrina floods. Several unscrupulous second hand dealers are selling salvage items. Inspect for damage in the undercarriage and other vulnerable parts.

I own a 440 QEE. The reason I bought the machine was because of the stitch regulator for quilting. My husband convinced me to get the embroidery attachment when I purchased the machine. Now I'm glad I did. I have started embroidering and I have learned how to combine it with quilting. Purchase the upgrade in software if you can afford it and get some of the other hoops that will fit the machine you get. Buy locally - on line may be cheaper but you will pay alot for shipping and this machine weighs alot. I spent about $3500 for my machine with the embroidery unit and got the 0% financing. I then payed it off over the year of free financing. Your local dealer should offer classes with the machine. My dealer also has a qualified repair person on site. That is great if something goes wrong. I also received a free cleaning within a year's time and now make sure that my baby goes in to be cleaned and tuned yearly. I like to make sure nothing is going to go wrong while I'm in the middle of a project. Have her tell you what model she would like. It would make your life alot easier or do what one of my friends did, her hubby took her to the dealer and let her look and try out all the machines that they could afford. She then got her choice of machine and they both were happy. Good Luck!
