If it has a big foot plate of cast iron that you rock back and forth to power the machine, it's called a treadle machine, and what you can get  for it will depend entirely on how good of condition it's in and what the local market is -- treadle machines are very difficult and expensive to ship.  $10-200 would be my guess, and more likely to be in the $30-100 range.

If it has a foot controller and works electrically, it's probably worth much less unless it's one of the highly sought after models like the 201 or 221.

Take the serial number and look here to find out what model you actually have:
