Ive had it a while so I can't remember the exact price. It was $100 or less which was a very good deal at the time. I had to do nothing to it apart from plug it in. It is well worth it. The difference between the power of this machine and the home machines I used to sew with is very substantial. I think I saw this exact model on Ebay recently for around $200. This model is substantially cheaper than other models since it was designed for garment production and not sewing leather although I'm sure it will sew thin leather. It's the heaviest of their garment production machines of the 1929 era. (241-11, 241-12 and 241-13). It only sews straight stitches has no reverse and no walking foot. Add the additional features and used ones got for about $1500 on Craigslist. This has an oil sump. It's a serious machine. Singer 241-13 - Album on Imgur
