I'd say in my area (Seattle), thrift store and garage sale prices would be only $20-40 dollars US and I sometimes see similar machines going for free on Craig's list. During 2020 when covid first hit and masks weren't mass produced working used machines were going for closer to $100 but prices have dropped back down as cheap Brother's and such are again available at Walmart.
thank you! I’m trying to decide if I should buy it. I want to use it to finish the clothes I make, but I can’t find any details of this machine as I don’t have the model - just the serial number.
it’s good to hear that is a good brand! Maybe I will buy it and give it a try. It’s not as cheap in Canada tho ☹️
