No picture to judge condition? Really, prices are what you or someone else is willing to pay in your area. Check ebay for closed/sold auctions, not listings and that will give you a general guestimate.

There are more than a few Crescent machines out there, not, however, like say...Singer or Wheeler & Wilson.

IF the machine AND cabinet are in pristine condition, probably not more than $150 - $175...maybe as much as $200...

Start subtracting from there for damage to the cabinet, irons, decals, machine....and about $50 less if there's no shuttle or bobbin...

Charlee really knows her stuff and you can take it to the bank. Don't let the adreneline pick your pocket. Be pragmatic and do the subtraction. You will be more satisfied in the end. You may not make a deal, but at least you will have fond regrets, not outright buyer's remorse.
