My husband found a Featherweight in perfect condition. I had only seen one before. He found it in a bin of stuff at the Goodwill warehouse. I ask the clerk what the price was and she said "I have to have $24.99". I grabbed it went to the check out and the clerk wanted to know what it was and I told her an old sewing machine and that the lady in back quoted me $24.99, she said "I don't think so". I got worried but she called the lady in back and when she hung up the phone , she said "I still think that is to much"!!!! Since then I have purchased about 25 of them, refurbished and resold. I have one that I repainted a metalic blue. It is beautiful. I also bought a 301a in a cabinet at another thrift store for $15.00.
