Up to $300...with the economy the way it is tho, the prices have been dropping...
Watch ebay...it's a good indicator.

I paid around $150 for mine with a bobbin case and no extras, not even a carrying case. I found it in a flea market. It was the only one I have found except for ebay, and I have looked in a gazillion garage sales, estate sales, flea markets for a few years (and I'm not exaggerating, haha) and I was thrilled to get this one. Good luck on your search.

My husband just paid $250 for mine, with case and a few uncatalogued "extras". He's a keeper - and so's the FW.

you can get them almost any time at shopgoodwill.com for around 180. it would have to be in excellent condition before i would pay over 200 right now they are going for cheaper
