I was fortunate in that I bought one from an estate. Complete with pedal and accessories and an original Singer tin box of bobbins. All for $75. I took it to a sewing machine man too and he was amazed that I got it for that price. I wasn't sure what they were worth at the time of the purchase. The repairman said it was worth $375. This was 5-6 years ago. My Pfaff machine is in for repairs now and I am enjoying piecing on the Featherweight again. It is usually in its case in the stash closet.
I don't think I am who you are writing about, since I am in Louisiana! Maybe Toverly? I'm happy with the one I have - unless I luck into another one some day...
