Yes, the prices vary but as another poster said they tend to be fairly consistent on ebay.
I noticed the Centennial model seems to go for more and those w/o a case seem to go for less.
But these are just some observations I've made looking. I check ebay a lot even though I already have 2, just for fun.
Shipping prices vary as well.
So many variables to think of!!!

You can also look for a 301, which is an upgraded Featherweight and weighs 16 pounds, so still portable. If it doesn't have to be portable, look for 201-2. This is a reputed to be a real workhorse and usually sells for less than a Featherweight.

I just found one for $350 in a shop near me. They are all over the board. Hope you find one for her she will love it!
