The price of a FW always depends on two things -- condition and how much you are willing to pay. If the machine has all it's decals, no scratches and sews perfectly, then $200 might be an OK price. If, however, it needs work, then unless you just have to have it, $200 is way too much. I bought a 1950 FW in March without a case, accessories, etc., and paid $120. My plan is to have it painted, so I wasn't concerned about a case, and I have 5 other FWs, so have enough accessories.
