Several weeks ago I purchased a 1951 Featherweight on Ebay. I used the "buy it now" price and paid $248.00 plus $28.00 shipping. It's in excellent condition, runs well and has no flaws. The case is in almost perfect condition and I got loads of accessories, bobbins, oil and motor oil and the original manual in perfect shape except for one slightly loose page. My husband shortened, slightly, the cord to eliminate a small break on one side of it. I think I got a good deal. One of my fellow quilt guild member is selling her collection starting at much higher prices - and they are not Centennials either, just regular ones like mine.
