I think a lot depends on your area and also what is fair to me may not be fair to you. I paid $75 for my treadle. It wasn't in 100% working condition, the bobbin winder had froze up and it needed a new belt, shuttle, bobbin and still needs the needle. Apparently they take a slightly longer needle. The one I have in now is a modern singer needle and it isn't picking up the bobbin thread. I easily spent another $75 ordering all the parts I needed for it on line. Also the cabinet you pictured appears in better condition then my cabinet was in. So once all said and done, I invested $150 in mine plus the futzing around to get her running, which I still haven't done. I don't have any regrets though and am happy to have her. Oh I did not get any attachments. I felt I paid a fair price. Does this help any?
