Would this be worth bidding on and how high would you go in price?????

It looks like its in good shape. Just set a price you don't want to bid above. These go anywhere from 50 up depending on where you get it. Good luck

Looks nice :mrgreen:

My mom has three for sale right now at her antique shop. The prices are between $300 - $600. And they don't last long. Most that I have seen on eBay go in about the $200-$400 range. But I have seen them go for closer to $800. If you do an advanced search you can choose for it to pull completed auctions too. That will give you a feel for what the current 'rate' is.

But Bobbie is right - set a price in your head and stick with it. You might lose it, but there will always be more. They can be hard to find but are definitely not 'rare' or one of a kind. HTH

It has all the accessories which is very unusual. I paid $250 for my Featherweight and it didn't have the attachments.

If you're going to bid on this auction this is how you do it. Sit on it and wait till the last seconds to bid. (It's called a snipe) Put in the most you are willing to pay for it. Don't bid in even numbers. Lets say it's sitting at $100.00 close to end of auction. You are willing to pay $200.00. Try to go over a little by bidding maybe $204.78. Again, don't bid in even numbers. A lot of people do and alot don't. Don't keep placing bids throughout the auction. All that does it keep raising the bid. Wait till the very end and snipe. I have won lots of auctions this way. If you are out bid another will come along. :-D

HTH

It will go for at least $250. Probably higher.

Thats a nice machine...I would certainly place a bid...
I've been following FW autions and this one could probably go anywhere from $225 to $280+ depending how anxious a buyer might be

If it is in great shape and comes with all attachments and good original case, they usually sell for over $200.

Looks good to me. Go for it.
