Default 221 featherweight...

I don't have any idea what I should get for it and I don't want to cheat myself or the person buying it. Any suggestions?
I have the exact same machine, and love it. It had hardly been used when I bought it at a flea mkt. An elderly couple brought it in, not knowing their popularity. I happened to call the same day. The mkt. had it totally re-conditioned, and I paid $500. for it--that was 9 yrs. ago.
My tech. said the price fluctuates a lot--as another person just said here. My best idea would be to have it appraised if you are wanting to sell it.
I love mine!
