Singer 222K Featherweight prices???
#11
I have seen a few 222 (free-arm FW) on CL in SoCal, where VSM seem more common and available than in some other parts of the country (NOT looking at you, Pacific NW!). None of them were listed for less than $1200, and some $1500. They weren't posted more than 1 or 2 weeks. Here, regular singer 221 featherweights are listed in the 250 to 350 range and seem to go pretty fast. Some, with all attachments and the folding table, are listed 450 to 500. I don't know if they get that price but the ads were gone in 2 to 3 weeks (unlike the really, REALLY cruddy looking singer 99 that has been listed and relisted for 2 years at $75, some people never learn).
So I would say the ebay prices you mention are pretty much on the mark. And prices for VSM have been going up across the board in the past 6 months, by my observation. So, if you want to sell, go for it!

Well..they are lovely...just a gem of a machine, both the 221 and 222...I see why people want them. I didn't know any had a crinkle finish..that's a new one for me! I've seen the white ones, and the ones people decal and paint themselves, but nothing like the good old black ones!

The 222 is rare and most were made in England. If you have one don't sell it cheap. They usually will fetch at least
$1000.00. Most have come in from England or Canada and have to be converted from 220v to 110v by installing
a 221 motor. I bought mine from England and paid the shipping all for around $600.00. They are high priced here in
the USA.

They are asking in the $350.00 range here on craigslist. I don't watch shopgoodwill.com much anymore, but just checked it. It seems to be in the same ranges as usual. They were selling at about $250.00 a while back. The nicer ones going for $300. or so, and the not so nice ones for less. The white ones go for more. The ones that have been repainted in the bright colors are going for high prices, though.
I would think that anyone who pays $1200. for a regular old featherweight has more money than sense.
