Here most used machines can fetch around $60 in general, almost regardless of model and condition. That said in good working order tend to sell faster, and the average straight stitcher doesn't sell that fast unless the price is down to $30. Some models, or older machines in exceptional condition can fetch up to $250, but it's not often. Someone tried to sell a a very nice Featherweight 222 with lots of accessories and attachments for the equivalent of $450. The owner didn't want to lower the price and it didn't sell even though it was up for months and months. I don't know what happened to it eventually.

Prices is a bit hard to determen, since these old machines are literally given away some times. I can say I payed $75 for my 201 in a small table; it needed a few replacement parts and a bit of tending too, a few signs of age and use, but generally it was in nice conditon. I have never regretted the time and money I spent on this machine.
