    Nope! It's simply not worth it.

    HOW MUCH????? I have just bought one on e-bay in UK for £57!!! Just had it completely overhauled by mechanic and he told me its the best machine he's seen in ages!!!! It came with lots of extras, original oil can etc. There are better bargains out there!! Hope you get as lucky as me!!! The mechanic charged me £40! So for less than £100 I have a first class machine!!

    I paid $400 for mine which was in superb condition with almost equally good case and had all the attachments including buttonholer. It has worked very well for me and I expect it to continue to do so.

    no way

    you can't even sell an over the top stunning FW in my area for $400.

    they run from $150 to $300 around here - if you ask for more no one buys them - they just sit on craig's list forever

    No way. I snagged one on ebay recently for $170. My only issue is she stinks, but many of them do. I did see some guaranteed not to have odors for $500, but that's still too much in my book.
