Worth $20-$50 in good working condition around here.

here's a NICE ARTICLE ON ISMACS' SITE about determining the value of your sewing machine.

Where I live, I would say: $0-$20 in good. clean, serviced condition., not needing parts or rewiring.

Occasionally I try to sell a clean, serviced, (complete with decorative stitch cams), in proven working condition, all steel vintage Kenmore. I can't even get $50, so I usually give them away to a relative or a charity. I live near a big city, I expect remote areas might be different.

I paid $50 for a full size Bel Air DeLuxe, made in Occupied Japan, about 3 years ago. I paid too much but it was the 1st and only time I have seen one locally. It was missing the bobbin plate - a Singer 66 plate fits. It is my go-to machine when sewing heavier things like mending/darning hubby's work pants or putting in a zipper in a jeans purse.
It came to me extremely dirty and with a mummified mouse in it. That was a special experience - the mouse.
I do love that machine and will not sell it. I do loan it out to friends and my daughter uses it occasionally to sew on if the 301 isn't available.

I like that Bel is wearing a corset!
