Interested in purchasing a Singer Featherweight and I'm wondering what's a fair price to pay for one and how desirable are they?

Thank you,

Price varies wildly according to condition and other factors, like how hard they are to find in your area, color of the machine, age, etc. I paid $135 for mine which is in good condition (maybe excellent too but there's some dings in the bed). Some have paid as little as $10 or $25 or even gotten them for free and some have gone up to 3 or 4 hundred bucks.

So it depends. :p

I paid $285 for mine about a month ago. I wanted a 1954 and got it, but it cost me.

I bought a white one about 6 months ago and paid 350.00 for it. It had been serviced and was ready to sew. I really enjoyed sewing with her.
Sad tho she quit Sat. and has to go to the Dr. for a check up.
Needs either a motor or foot feed. DH wasn't sure which was the problem. I sure miss her but at 54 years old she probably has a few worn parts.

Price does vary greatly. My mom and my sister bought me a Centennial featherweight for Christmas about 10 years ago and they paid $325. So as you can see they are holding value. If you get lucky and find one for $25 that would be great. Good luck in your search.

I've been searching ebay and goodwill.com and they are going for 200+...Saw one in an antique shop for 325.
A few guys I know refurbish them and then sell them for 350.
And they are going like hotcakes...very popular

People are still asking $300 to $400 on my local Craigslist. I would consider anywhere around $200 to be good. Anything less is great.

if i read your location correctly.....then I would suggest checking with The Charlton Sewing Center in Charlton Ma.
I see the featherweights there for sale. Otherwise just have to get lucky to find one.

Gayle,
