That's way too high....eBay prices are generally around $275 or so. There are dozens (literally!!) of places to buy Featherweights. Don't buy the first one you find unless it's fully working and price is less than $200.
You have to shop around. Google Singer 221 or Singer Featherweight and you will see what I mean...DOZENS of places to buy them!!!
