Is 600.00 a lot to pay for a "Singer Original 221 Featherweight" ?

It's high. Mine is in nice condition and had been serviced by a sewing store before I bought it. The store had purchased it and re-sold it to me for $275. The only difference is you have a lot of the attachments and mine had none. I wouldn't pay over $350 for it. Just my opinion.

Keep looking. They are a little more expensive Just Because we live in Canada. I did find one for $200 on kijiji and spent a bit more to get it serviced. That seems to be the average price range I have seen. Half the fun is the hunt, the right one will show up!

I paid $20 for mine at a garage sale, and sold it for $250 and it was in very good condition and sewed perfectly. On CL around here they don't sell for even $300. At least I notice that they are relisted again and again at $300 and higher. So yes, $600 is very overpriced. IMHO

This is the only one I've seen like it that is complete. Is it local that you can go look at it? Still seems like a lot of money. I think it's a couple hundred overpriced. I would also want to try it out. If you can do all that and they let you try it then ~~^ eh mayyyybeeee.
