I just looked on Craigslist in my area and there is a black Featherweight for sale--- only $150. I already have 4 ( 1 white, 1 tan, 2 black). I did email the seller, I know I won't be able to resist buying it. The seller says it needs work, this doesn't scare me as usually they just need oil/grease or the needle is in wrong. Parts are fairly easy to come by. The pictures looked fine. Would you buy it if you already had 4?

Well if it a color you don't have yet. And will it make you happy. Then go for it. I didn't see you said it's black have it painted something else.

I had 5 at one time for a while. I'm down to 3, two are black and 1 is tan. They are just so cute!

what ever you are comfortable with is the correct # you should have.

I'd buy it and then start selling them to us that want one!

I'd probably buy it and use it to trade for the 301 that I am really wanting.

Exactly. And if this purchase doesn't cause any disruption to the general household budget, then you should get it if you really love it.
