I am new to sewing machines, but I seemed to have gotten hooked quick. After working on my wife's Singer, I started hunting for others to work on. That's when I started running in to trouble. I do not have the history with these machines to know when something is priced reasonably or if it is priced sentimentally. Singers are easy enough, I can look on eBay or CL, but when I run across a Morse or Free or one of the Japanese clones, I have no basis for what it is worth. I realize in the end, they are all only worth what I am willing to pay for them, but I want to be able to have a little left over for the next one.

Is there some centralized source for valuation, like a sewing machine NADA?

Thanks
