Does a Singer model 294 upholstery sewing machine complete with various feet and bobbins have any value? I have had it a number of years, but not used it. I always thought it would be handy for sewing tractor seats and repairing heat housers, etc. i expect it could be converted to an electric motor easily enough.
I have a hard time getting rid of anything....

I have seen them sell from a low of a hundred dollars to a high of $500. It depends on the condition and what attachments you have with it. The Amish are always looking for them. Also some people prefer the foot peddle ones over the electric ones. Claim you can "feel" the material better and not break as many needles.

On Ebay it'd probably go high as long as you use the words "Vintage/Rare/Antique" in the title.
The Amish up here use them.
