Its worth whatever you can get for it. I'm not being factious or snide but the market is flooded with machines and in some areas you can't give them away. I would start at $150 and go down from there. The machine really isn't worth anything but cabinets in decent shape will go for around there.

Too bad there is rust - any chance of cleaning it up a bit before the sale? If you are really trying to get rid of it then start on a much lower amount. You don't want the shy buyer to just walk away. Like crocee said, it really depends on what the market is for your area. Maybe check on Craig's list. People want a bargain and you want it out of your home. So figure out what you would like and let it go.

Most I have seen in my area go for $50-$75 depending on the machine and the quality of the table. And they usually don't go quickly.

I say ask at least $50. Any less than that and it's likely to be parted out for it's treadle base and turned into a tractor.

I would pay $50 if I came across it, or maybe offer $40.
