Ya I paid $350 for mine and had to get it out of Canada. Saw one recently that was $100 and I would have used it for a boat anchor it was already so awful and rusty.

My hubby replaced belt and electrical cords on mine too. That one looks like a sweet deal!

Always be safe and bring a guy with you. As far as the price I love a bargain but I am also trying to leave the impressison that they got what they thought is fair. I bought 2 featherweights at a garage sale. And I asked if the women knew what they had. They asked $200.00 & $250.00. I knew that was fair and we both were christians. Enough said. I just try to be careful.

PLEASE take someone with you. You can't be too careful nowadays.

I had a 201 Singer that was a real workhorse. Sadly it burned up in a fire. I had replaced all of the electrical cords a few years back because they had begun to crack on the surface. I used it almost daily for 50 years plus. I now have a Pfaff for general sewing and two Brother embroidery machines that I only use for embroidery. The Pfaff is a great machine for sewing but I still would prefer the 201 Singer.

Even if you have to send dit to the shop for adjustments and cleaning it would be well worth the money.
