I got mine for $85. There was no bench with the cabinet, but it came with a buttonholer, ruffler and all the other attachments and tons of bobbins. The prices are going up, but you could probably get one cheaper. It just depends on if you are really, really wanting it. Do make sure the bobbin case is there, though. They also fit the featherweight and sell for $50 to $80.
