I found a listing locally for the Featherweight in title. Asking price is $150.00. It is pictured with two boxes:green box with tools I think, and a cardboard box that looks like it contains feet. It is in original case which looks nice. Gold lettering on machine and the black paint look great. Is this a fair price? I've been hoping to find those "miracles" at Thrift stores -- but no success. What do you think? In case anyone is interested in seeing it, it is on Craig's List in Indianapolis, specifically Carmel, and was posted on 7/26. I would of course make sure it worked before purchasing.

If it works it'd be an awesome deal!

I would call them now. It is probably already gone. That is a steal.

just sent an e-mail to the seller --- asked about the bobbin case - and hope to see it/try it out later this week. :) thanks for the responses.

what is the usual price (if there is one) for this machine? another featherweight (1940's) is listed for $350. it has original case, but no accessories. big difference in price.

For what I see around here, it is a good price, especially with bobbin case and carrying case.
