Kyia ,
I don't know anything about the value. I got mine so I could treadle on a sweet old machine like the one on which I was taught to sew about 65 years ago. I have had it for a month or so and I'm still excited. It was somewhat rusty and looked like it hadn't been touched to sew on for a very long time when I got it so I had to refurbish it. Good old machines are not easy to find here in FL...they are rusty if they have been here and unused for long due to the humidity so I decided to jump into the refurbishing of it and the 128 that I found about 2 weeks ago.
