Yes, I consider myself very lucky. I purchased 4 of my machines from private individuals. The tan was a fluke find, because from the pictures that were posted, I thought it was white, until the last picture, which included a brown case. White machines come in a cream and green case; tan machines come in a two-toned brown case. I honestly think the seller didn't know what a limited run of tans Singer made. I actually got that one for under $200. I am happy with all of mine, and have now started looking for a 222, which is the same as a 221, except it has the free-arm and the feed dogs drop, so you can FMQ with it without covering the feed dogs. But since those run in the thousands, I will continue to dream.

I bought one a few months ago from a private party for $250. That is considered CHEAP for my area. Most are $300 and above and they don't seem to be very plentiful here.
