I'd like to give my two cents worth on the cost of featherweights....I've been into FW's since the 80's. I paid in the $350 range for the ones I own. I've watched for years and the ONLY time I was able to pick one up for less than that was recently I found one for a friend and paid $175 for it. It came with no attachments and no case and the lacquer was a bit worn. I also completely cleaned, adjusted and oiled for no charge. I hear these stories about buying one for $20. That's great! But I don't really think that is the norm. Or maybe I'm just jealous or in the wrong part of the country, lol. It's funny how regional sewing machine costs can be. I pick up mint looking Redeye's for $20 when others say they can't touch one in their area for $100. Even with all that said, I would love to find cheaper FW's. But please don't scoff at those prices of $350. That isn't out of whack for the market.
