222k SINGER MACHINE RARE
Just came across this listing. This is just going to far...I guest if you really want one you will pay what they are asking. But, I could sure have a great collection for that amount of money!

I think the thing for this one is this -- this machine is NOT your standard FW. This machine is a free arm/convertible machine. Although, no, I wouldn't pay this price, either, even if I could, it may not be too far out in left field! If you look closely at the machine, you will notice the differences.

Were I a serious collector, I'd pay the price and be done with it; it appears to be in beautiful shape. I certainly wouldn't use it as a sewing machine; rather, I'd use my Kenmore 158.1913 free-arm convertible ($7.99 at Value Village) which can probably out-sew a 222 any day of the week.
Not being a serious collector, I just don't see the point.

Wow, that is a huge price! I have one that my son's girlfriend (now wife) was taking to the thrift store or the dump because it didn't sew well!!!! my son brought it to see if I wanted to play around or display it and all it needed was a good cleaning, oiling and the needle put in and threaded properly! Its the only machine I use for piecing and it is a dream but I had no idea of cost before today!!!
