Since they have announced the newest Epic 2 is to be out soon the prices on the Epic have dropped significantly. In the US, 2 different areas that I live in used Epics(which shouldn't be over about 3 years old) are advertised at $5999, Haven't seen prices on what a new, unused Epic 1 would be now. I don't think any of the major machines ever put in an ad what their prices are--sort of like buying a car--negoitate!!!
In the US the only Epic 1s available are trade ins. Not sure they are even making them any more. My dealer said used they will run about $8900.00. I didn't even price the Epic 2. There is just not enough difference for me to consider it. And I am disappointed in the new serger too. The only feature I like is the air threading of the loopers. And it is $1500.00. So will not be getting it now either. Hugs. Nan
Hi Carolyn, for you in Canada it would cost approximately $13,625.00 give or take a few dollars. Judy is right in Australia they cost 15,000.00. I saw the brand new Husqvarna sewing machine at our local craft fair in September and it was close to $17,000.00Aud!!!
The Designer Epic has some great hoops 10.24 x 14 inches (260 x 360 mm), 10.24 x 8 inches ( 260 x 200 mm) and a square hoop 4.7 x 4.7 inches (120 x 120 mm).
Are you thinking of getting one and if so, where from? Do you have a local service centre which can help you out if needed? Love Chris
New Epic #2 here is $18,000 some stores $17,000
Noone sale #1 as they want u to buy #2
I don't know if this is the latest machine ,but about 2yrs ago the latest model cost about $15,000 in Australia.I got a new in the box run out Janome 14000 for $5,000 instead but the Diamond is still working well.
If you plan to buy one ,I always look for the specials which usually occur at Christmas ,Mothers Day & the end of the financial year.Also at craft shows.
There is a lady here that keeps buying all new machines they put out which is epic #2 The store owner will sale me hers for a good price and will give me full amount for my Topaze i bought this year for $2,500. I cannot refuse this deal
