Sometimes I think people sometimes see a 222 sell high and think a 221 is the same? I can't figure out another reason for pricing so high. If you think that featherweight listing is obnoxious, you should see this one that has been reposted for months now.

For that poor condition, and without the table proper, I wouldn't do $45. Maybe $30.

In a word, yes. That's a learning experience at best....by the time you get the machine cleaned up and make some kind of treadle top you'll have more in it than what it would be worth if it was in good condition with a cabinet in one piece.
I might offer them $15 for it....maybe $20...
