I paid a little over $200 for mine but it was also my highschool English and French teacher's. So it's not only a Featherwieght but one with a personal connection for me. Even though I now own and treasure Mrs. Brown's Featherweight, if I ever find another one less than $100 or even several I'll buy them. My rule of thumb is that if they run and are less than $250 it's a fairly good deal, if they're less than $200 it's a good deal and less than $100 it's a great deal.
