You could try listing it on eBay:

But packing (a very specialized process) and shipping would probably be prohibitive. If I were in this situation, I would find a local-to-the-machine sewing-quilting group (check churches and senior centers) and donate it. Alternatively, Goodwill/Salvation Army/local charity of choice?

Our popular online "classified" web site is called Kijiji - it's like CraigsList which seems more popular in the USA. It can be advertised under your locality and item classification to target the local buyers. Also - some Thrift Stores will put certain items in their silent auctions - some will issue charitable donation receipts for items over $ 100. value ... Good luck. John T.

Value is a very subjective thing. It really is not worth more than someone will give you. It is a work horse of a machine and treated well will be serviceable for a long time if you get $100.00 that would probably be a lot.
