Although most owners of antique/vintage machines seem to think they are worth $$$$++++, they actually are not. Most machines in fairly good condition, with some attachments and/or manual, will go for $30-75. In a cabinet, maybe a bit more, like $75-100. Some very popular ones, like the Featherweight 221 will go for more than $200, but that's a rarity.

I paid $60 for a late 1960s Singer Fashion Mate in a cabinet. But I gave the machine away and kept the cabinet, which was made in 1940's, and is kind of hard to find in good condition. It needs work, but I actually paid for the cabinet, not the machine.
