There are many people out there who seem to think old sewing machines must be worth a fortune. If you want a laugh just check out some of the ads on Kijiji (Canadian version of Craig's List). Old machines are just what a buyer will pay and most people unless they like vintage machines or want them to display will not even give them a second glance. They just do not have much value. There are a few models that are considered collectible or if the cabinet is really exceptional you may be able to sell it for a few extra dollars. I love old machines and am always looking but there are not many I would bring home.
