Good machine to keep & use indeed but not that valuable in my opinion.
I think Hooligan is correct. However, I'd like to add this: Ebay "buy it now" prices are not disclosed. Even if one is asking $250.00 for a given sewing machine, they might take $150.00 (or less) if it is offered, depending on how long it's been for sale. However, the site will report that it sold for the full amount of $250.00. On most of those "buy it now" items, the seller can leave it up for an unlimited amount of time and not pay Ebay until it sells.
The only accurate information that items on Ebay actually sold for is to confine you search to items that were sold at auction.
