I see there are lots on Ebay with a wide range of prices. Other than condition, is there something that makes one a higher price than another? I'm looking to purchase one but don't really know that much about them or what to look for before bidding.

The throat space and everything is the same as the QE. It just has the ability to sew the 9mm as opposed to the 5.5mm. I decided I would rather have that additional width and forego the stitch regulator that was included with the QE. But since I do all my FMQ on the frame with my midarm I decided I didn't...
