How much would YOU pay??

This morning I noticed an estate sale in my area that has a Bernina Activa 320 pictured. I can't find one on ebay or other listings. What would you pay for a used Bernina at an estate sale???

I would take a fabric scrap with me and ask to test it!

When we traded my mom's in for a newer machine, they gave us a $350 credit for a new machine and thought they could flip it for $500.

A few years ago my friend bought a Bernina Sport at an Estate Sale. She took it to a class and the instructor offered her $900 for it. She was trying to buy one on ebay and it went higher that that and she lost out. Go low and see what you can get. The only ones who pay a lot for an old machine are those who know what they are looking for. Most Estate Sale companies only know what they can find on the internet. And if you can't find it, neither can they.

I also could not find anything on the 320. However, I found some completed listings (where the items actually SOLD) for the Bernina Activa 240, which I assume is a "lesser" model (in other words, I would expect a 320 to be worth more):
