    I maybe did a wrong thing by posting my question on another Featherweight question, but here it is again. Sorry about that. I just found one on e-bay for $315.00 with all the bells and whistle from a professional sewer . With all the extras is this a good deal. She also said if there is ever a question or problem to call her and she will help and if she can't she will find out the answer. Never owned one so don't know what is a good deal. Thanks for your response.

    Not too bad of a price, but I have seen some for less on Ebay recently. I don't know what the extra bells and whistles are, so can't comment on that. It is easy to find them with case and attachments.

    I paid $280 for mine about six months ago, including case and attachments. Got mine on ebay. Don't know what they're going for now, although some have found killer deals at yard or estate sales.

    If it's guaranteed I think it's not a bad price, not a super great one either. I've seen them for less, but they don't look like sparking clean ones. I guess part of it is if you are willing to wait and look and shop a lot :-)

    It's probably a fair deal. Lately featherweights have been selling for a little less than they used to. If the machine is clean and has been recently serviced that alone is probably worth close to $100 as my local repair lady charges $70 for a machine clean and service.

    I paid $345 for my 1947 Featherweight about 10 years ago - machine excellent condition with perfect decals, included original case in excellent condition, original attachments and original manual. I use her and love her to death do us part!
