There are many FW enthusiasts here on the QB, I don't know a whole lot about them. But what I do know is that they're cute as all get out, vintage, and in high demand.
I've seen them priced $950+. I personally didn't want to spend more than $200, so while I've seen a ton of them, I wasn't willing to pay the asking price. So...it kind of depends on what you want in your FW, and how much you are willing to pay for it. I wanted decent cosmetic condition and good working order with an intact case and found it for $150, which, from what I understand is a low-average price.
