What is the currant value of a Singer Featherweight now?

It depends on the condition. I have been looking for one on eBay and a lot of them are selling from about $300 - $1000 or more. I was able to purchase one this morning for $250 (best offer) plus taxes and shipping. It is not pristine, but I plan on trying to spruce her up as best I can. It has sales stickers on the light housing and pillar and paint missing at the bottom. I plan on buy some touch up paint from the Featherweight Shop to fix the chips. Not sure what to do about the stickers yet. I will post pics when I get the machine, it hasn't shipped yet.

I agree with SSChick's estimate. I haven't seen on go lower than $250 here in a while.

I actually saw one yesterday on eBay that was listed for an unheard of $99.00. I was tempted, but the ad said that there was either an issue with the foot pedal or the motor. They weren't sure which, so I said nope. It sold within an hour or two of being listed.

I have two and am trying to find someone in metro Atlanta who wants them for reasonable price local pickup. I am not listing them here because I think the local pickup is the issue.

Meet them at the Police station to exchange money for machine. If they don't show, you have dodged a problem.

They are going for about $300. at Goodwill, but I don't know how far other bidders will go. I stop at $300. or close to it.

totally agree. That is my plan. But I haven't advertised locally. I'm hoping the next owner finds me like I found them.

Funny as it sound, check the gun shops. My friend's husband is a gun collector and he finds featherweights at the independent gun shops especially the older ones.. Strange but some would bring in the machine as trade for a gun/ part. After he brought home a few she said enough unless a friend wants you to look for one.
