Premium brands (Bernina, Janome, Juki) and computerized/embroidery machines resell for more. Vintage all-metal models are prized.
A machine that stitches cleanly, with even tension, sells best. Seized motors and timing issues are deal-breakers.
Feet, bobbins, manuals, cases, and cams all add. Complete packages sell faster and higher.
Certain vintage all-metal machines (Singer Featherweight, older Berninas) are prized; common plastic machines sell modestly.
A clean, oiled, well-tuned machine that stitches on camera reassures buyers and raises your price.
