He's way out of line. I have purchased four of them and the scroll face is more expensive than that regular one, but that's not enough to demand that kind of price. There really are reasonably priced Featherweights sold on e-bay so keep looking.

If you follow it until it sells, keep us informed at the selling price. I would love to know just how much it really goes for. I'll just be he doesn't even get a bid and has to repost it. No one in their right mind would buy one for that. Even the ones on Desk Dave, that have been refurbished and painted are worth that. He has some beauties too.

I think that is the large part Sewbizgirl....you don' t see that age of a machine come across very often.....it looks in great condition....plus it has the fancy scroll design front plate on it not just the straight grove lines. That alone makes it more expensive or attractive even on the later models. And like someone else said he may sell it for that because some people do have more money then sense. Oh and lets not forget shipping is not included in the price. :roll:

All Singer 1936 Featherweights (Singer lists 50,000 of them made from December 1935 to December 1936) had the same scroll face according to the book "Featherweights". I wrote to the man who had this machine for sale. This is what I wrote and his response.
I wrote and asked if he was serious about this price or was it a typo. I told him that I had purchased a 1936 Featherweight in pristine condition with accessories and case for $225.00 plus $18 shipping. (This is true)
His response - Dear xxxxxxx,
Thank you for the info but are we talking apples to apples, did yours come with a case like this in this good of condition which is rare in it's self. Was the machine serviced and cleaned when you got it or did you have to do it yourself. I have been selling these for several years as has my partner and this is what I am asking for this sale.
thank you and have a great weekend,
duane
