Singer 99

100.00 is to much. I saw one for 125.00 at a flea market 2 weeks ago. The guy had a 301 sitting next to it for 50.00. I don't think he realized what he had. I think he thought the smaller the machine the more it was worth.

Vintage sewing machine prices are going up. You can't go by what someone paid even six months ago. If it's worth $100 to you, then it's worth $100. That does sound a little high, but it also depends on the condition.

Advertisers like to tag the vintage machines as industrial, when most aren't - they are just well made workhorses. The 99 is a 3/4 size machine like my 128. Not as small as a Featherweight and certainly not light. My 128 weighs 29 pounds.
