Another E-Bay Featherweight Tip
Wow that is a beauty! I've been watching too and love looking at these
vintage machines! Great find. kitty in phx -- Remove "s" and "i" in email to respond. http://community.webshots.com/user/kittykatchee "M. Wetmore" wrote in message news Hi All: After the last discussion on Featherweights I decided it was time for me to spring for one. I watched the auctions for a week to get an idea as to what they sell for in what condition. Over the weekend, most went for $350-$400. Well, I got a real beauty today for $295.00. You can see her at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=60 5&rd=1 I think one of the keys to getting a good deal on a Featherweight is to find an auction that ends on a weekday and not a weekend. And, even better if it ends during the day. I had to bid while I was at work, and there was still someone else bidding, but I got it for my price of under $300. I'm so excited. I can hardly wait until she gets here.

Congratulations!
You may find one at a good price, too, if you find a mislabled Featherweight. I see them all the time. The seller doesnt know what they have. Of course, I see a lot of non Featherweights that are listed as FWs. Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "M.

Oh Mardi, Can you see how green with envy I am? I am still looking and
bidding. Maybe I will have one to celebrate with soon. -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242 |

Enjoy, Mardi! I love my 221. Such a practical machine, and if you're
lucky, there is a FW guru in your area. There are so few things that go wrong with a Featherweight, and most of them you can fix yourself. Mine only took a week to arrive, and that included the time for our local FW guru to make sure it was in perfect sewing shape. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine.

Mardi Hi Mardi, I agree with your observations. I got mine on an auction that ended during a weekday also and payed $323 total for shippiing and insurance. I'm quite happy with mine. Hope your enjoy yours! -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |
