Janome prices

Is that the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price?

One high street shop yesterday quoted that price with no indication of a special price.

Perhaps I will email around.

Tha machines are at a fixed price now. All similar for top of the range about £3,000. Brother 3100D is the same i.e. there are no dealers price cutting the machines. I know for a fact the retail price maintenance scheme was scrapped years ago and I am surprised they can act in this way. I have spoken to several of them at great length and here are some of their replies right or wrong. . The dealers say the price cutting was putting some dealers out of business and so it was brought in. I was also told you buy the machine from Janome and not the dealer. All I know is I cannot now get a good cash deal on a machine of my choice. I wonder though if this price fix will keep up the price of my 3,000 when I come to sell it. The Janome 300E seems to be the same price everywhere I have seen it. Whilst I am on my soapbox I am also very unhappy that the warranty on a sewing machine cannot be transferred like every other product you buy. I personally shall look for a demonstration machine if I buy another one. Moan over Liz

I have just bought the new Janome 300E. The shop here who is a Janome agent was selling it as a promo price of $1499 AU. So I decided to buy it in a few months time when my financial situation was better. I phoned Janome head quarters in Brisbane and they said that the promo price was for a few more weeks and after it finished the machine would be the proper price of $2200. I went to the shop and put the machine on Lay-buy at the reduced price as it was a great saving. Couldnt wait to pay it off so I went and put it on my credit card and picked it up. LOL. The APT flash card addapter cost me $15 and as I already have a spare compact flash card with my digital camera I didnt have to buy one of those. The sandisk (reader/writer gaget) that Janome makes was going to cost me over $150 so I went to my local computer store and got one for $39, another saving. Being able to sew the larger designs is great, I still have my Janome

9000 for normal sew>Looking at the new 300e and this also applies to all other Janome

my wife has the MC8000 and rather than sell it to upgrade to the 9500 or

10001 we are looking add just adding on. She also has a New Home Overlocker which I believe is Janome. All are very nice machines.
