    First find out how much your mom is willing to shell out and then offer the seller a little less than what you were given by your mom.Then if they take the bait you just made a few buck or you could go and give the change back to your mom.

    Sounds like a mid-20th century machine, and it would fetch $0-50 around here. Test it to make sure it sews well before offering anything. I paid $10 for a 1954 Singer 15 (a good machine!) and actually overpaid for it because it was one of the Centennary of Sewing badged Singers.

    If this is a treadle, rather than electric, most of them around here are going for $25-100. Again, make sure it sews, and make sure you can get needles for it if you want to actually use it for sewing.
