Technically Used But Essentially New Artisan Sewing Mach

[Mack]

I've got an Artisan sewing machin (see attached picture) that I bought for about $2,575 and it was used once, presumably for a demo (I paid a guy $100 to show me how to use the machine and he taught me how to re-thread the machine and spent the rest of the time making adjustments to it ). It really is essentially new. I've never done a project on it yet. What I've come to is the realization that this was way overkill for a hobbyist like myself. I even had a bolt on custom table made for the thing to help handle flat work. It's got a non-tabled arm style that allows you to sew unusual shapes, etc. My intent in posting this message here is to see if anyone would have an interest in this machine if I offer it for $1,975 The buyer would be responsible for either picking it up or handling shipping. I'm in So.Calif. so I'm hoping someone in the area could come by and pick it up so I don't have to fiddle with shipping this thing out. It's very heavy, but I got it home in the back of my V8 Mountaineer, so know it can be done. Pickup would work better. I'm not out of work and don't need the money to make a mortgage payment or anything like that, just hate seeing the thing sitting here not being used. I'm offering this machine at almost a 25% discount so if you're thinking of coming back with something lower than that, don't bother. I'll just keep the thing.
