This is one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions. A brand new one ('never out of the box' - so presumably complete with all accessories) was sold for £70 here:

However I sometimes attend a house clearance auction in Norfolk where the auctioneer struggles to get a single bid on sewing machines (even very modern ones). I've seen him accept £5 or £10 for a good quality machine.

At the time of posting, this one on eBay (again, brand new) has attracted 16 bids, bringing the price up to £9.54:

As you're probably not in any great hurry to sell, it could be worth watching that thread to see how the bidding goes. Then you'll have an idea of what people are prepared to pay.

You will have an awful job selling it without the foot control and wire. Many people can't give sewing machines away these days. And Brother was never the best make, anyway.
