Nope. I got a nice Featherweight on Ebay for $218 and my husband found another one that was very nice at an antique shop for $300. Keep Looking. It took me awhile to win an auction on Ebay but it was worth the effort.

Put me down as another no. I'd have to think twice about going much higher than $300.

Absolutely NO!! There are lots of beautiful featherweights out there that are less than half of that.
