I just paid what I think was a reasonable price for one on Ebay. The prices are really down from what they were about a year ago. I've looked mine over but no time to do more then give it a quick once over and to plug it in to make sure it works. Hope to polish, shine, clean and oil this weekend. I chose the one I got because I liked that she had been loved by the owner who was a quilter who had two. Always make sure the seller has good feedback and has been selling a while. She also included a book called "Featherweight 221, the perfect portable". I can do the tuneup myself but would like to find a book to help with her and her sisters.
