Just a comment about purchasing used equipment. You will also need to pay a license fee from Melco and most other companies. Sellers don't tell the buyer this and the companies won't service without this license. It is written on the first page of the direction manual but people don't read it until they are so mad at the company. not the seller.

(There have been many embroidery machines advertised by scammers on ebay so be very careful about any purchase.) I do question the point of why they are using a stock picture of the XT and cant take a picture themselves or use a friends camera. If you do win, I would call the person before driving to pick it up. There was an Amaya advertised in Maine just a couple weeks ago for $5800 which didn't sell but I think $6000 is still a good price. I would ask a lot of questions before bidding. Number of hours, last time tech tuned it up, new rollers, Amaya version software, serial number, etc. I would also email Melco service and give them the serial number and ask if any transfer or other fees are involved in buying a used machine. Keep in mind the costs for gas and to rent a van move it too. Google maps gives good milage estimates. Wasn't 2002 or 2003 the first year Amaya came out? Call your tech and ask him what he thinks about 2003 Amayas. Maybe Ed or Hugo can chime in on thier opinions.
