How to buy a sewing machine safely. The number that matters is the total including shipping, which we add up for you. Then check the seller's feedback (shown on every listing), whether returns are accepted, and condition details. Favour listings with photos of the actual machine and a note that it powers on and stitches forward and reverse. If the listing mentions issues with the motor or foot pedal, budget for a service or repair. Remember eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers you if it arrives faulty or not as described. Prices refresh live from eBay and are cached briefly, so they are current to within a few minutes.

How to buy a used sewing machine

Test that it powers on and stitches. Confirm the machine starts, stitches forward and reverse, and the motor and foot pedal work smoothly. Check the bobbin winder and confirm a bobbin case is included. A cheap service or new needle often transforms a used machine that seems sluggish or hesitates.

Look for a smooth, even stitch. Ask to see photos of stitching on scrap fabric. Ask if the machine has been serviced or oiled, and what comes with it: manual, power cord, foot pedal and standard presser feet. Missing items add up in cost, so factor them in to your bid.

Mechanical vs computerised. Mechanical machines (Singer Heavy Duty, Janome HD) are simpler, harder to break and last decades. Computerised or embroidery machines (Brother SE, Brother PE) do more but cost much more to repair. Pick the right tool for what you plan to sew.

Common questions

Where are these prices from?

Live eBay listings, the largest source of used and new sewing machines. Pick a model and it fetches the current lowest-priced listings in real time.

Is it safe to buy a used sewing machine?

Yes. Favour high-feedback sellers, check that it powers on and stitches, look for detailed photos of the actual machine, confirm the foot pedal works, and lean on eBay's Money Back Guarantee if anything arrives broken.

What costs extra after buying?

Replacement needles, a spool of thread, and possibly a service to clean and oil the machine. Budget 20 to 50 dollars extra for these. If the machine needs a new presser foot or bobbins, add that too.

What is a presser foot?

The presser foot holds the fabric under the needle as you stitch. Sewing machines come with a standard foot for straight and zigzag stitches, but specialty feet (for zippers, buttonholes, free motion quilting) can be bought separately. Check which feet are included.

Mechanical vs computerised - which should I buy?

Mechanical machines are simpler, more durable and cheaper to repair. Computerised machines offer decorative stitches and embroidery but cost more to fix if the computer fails. Embroidery machines are specialist tools. Match the machine to what you plan to sew.

Cheapest by model, at a glance

A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 12 October 2026. Tap a price to see that model's cheapest listings on eBay, or tap a model name for the full live list here.

These are second hand prices, listed by sellers as used or pre-owned, taken from live eBay US listings in US dollars. In collectible categories a sealed or unworn item is sometimes the cheapest genuine listing, and it is included. The same number works both ways: it is what a buyer pays today and the resale value a seller can realistically ask. Every model also carries a price history, the daily record kept since tracking began, which is the part to read before you buy or resell. On a day when a model has no listing that passes these filters, its row keeps the last price we recorded rather than inventing one, and drops off this table if that goes on for more than a few days.

Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.

Over the period we have tracked, this category is down 0.6%, while the used market as a whole is down 0.3%. See the Used Price Index, which is built from these prices and published as a free CSV.
