Yes there is, here is the best place to try.

You can buy the Blue Book of Sewing Machine Values. It is available from Allbrands, at www.allbrands.com. Also, search ebay auction listings to see if any have be sold recently to see what they sold for. But the best source would be the Blue Book for Sewing machine values. It is published yearly.

Hope this helps :-D

My sister worked for a car lot for a short time,and in their training they taught them that "blue book" values were a joke.

They loved when people come in talking about "blue book" values, those people usually paid a lot more than they should have.

You don't even want to hear some of the other stuff they taught them! It was bad, really bad. She only lasted a few months there!

Really, any item car or sewing machine is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Finding places where they are sold, and what people have paid for them is more accurate that something someone put in a book.

Oh sorry about that. Bing.com is a search engine. lol sorry!!

Try this http://sewingonline.info/books/

Oh Man just clicked on the buy button and it says product not found. :hunf:

OK, I give up. When I go to my dentist appointment later I'll stop by a sewing machine shop and ask where I can or if I can even get one. LOL
Now I have a tangent to go on, and I thought this day was gonna be boring...

If the sewing machine value book works like auto blue books, it would be republished every year or so with updated values. That would mean you'd have to buy a new one every time they republish. For my money, I think I'd try connecting with a dealer willing to talk about used values.

Wow, if it's this hard to find, maybe you have to know a secret handshake or belong to a spy organization? :>
