Stitch This,
Yes, it's true that a machine does drop significantly in value after it's 
purchased new.  Most are not concerned with this since the machine will be 
making them money.  And most folks working out of their homes say they can pay 
an entire machine off in about one year's time.

If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to sell your machine 
before it has a chance to earn any real money, then you will find yourself in a 
pickle because now you are competing with Melco for buyers and you may not be 
able to offer a warranty or training like Melco can.  So to compensate, you 
will have to come off the price until you start to hear back from interested 
parties.

Also just sharing but the last machine I bought (with hoops and cap 
driver/frames) was purchased for $4K about a year ago.

This recession will also play a part in how many people will be (or won't be) 
looking to expand their current machine count or how many will want to start a 
new business without the support of the mother company.  If you have a good 
tech, maybe you could sweeten the deal you're offering by including training or 
a labor warranty which he or she would provide (and you pay for) so your buyer 
won't feel all alone after the sale.

The alternative is to keep the machine and let it try to make some money for 
you.
