I think that you will be lucky to be allowed $3000 for your 12000. I traded my 12000 even up for an Elna 860 which was $2,885 - less than $3000 and this was 3 years ago. The 12000 is already 7-8 years old in technology. Why not wait until fall and see if a new machine is launched, then you would be right up to date in technology.
You’d be better to pay cash and sell your 12000 privately on eBay or some other internet selling site.
