Looks like a beautiful setup. Nice that it has all of the accessories.
Sadly, there are so many sewing machines available that very few have held a very high value.
May sound odd, but portable machines usually sell for more money and sell much faster than one on a desk.
Of course, the reasons are understandable, not everybody has room for a desk machine and it is difficult to handle when moving to a new location.
Shipping cost would be very high so you have to depend on selling in your area; some areas may be okay but most will probably not be interested.
I have only found one similar sold machine/desk and that was in 2014 and was local pick up only (NC).
There are several sold model 625 listed on eBays sold listings but they are all portable.
You cannot really compare different models as each one usually has something that is unique to that model. It does appear that models 620/625/628 can be compared.
Selling:
I would take a lot of very good pictures, especially of the complete machine/cabinet and post it on sites like Craigslist, USA4Sale, Facebook Marketplace or any site you're familiar with.
You can always start with a higher figure such as $150-200 with price negotiable and local pick-up only.
Give it a few weeks and if no offers then start lowing the price.

My dad was a shoe repairman and in approximately 1949, after he apprenticed with a local Czech shoe cobbler, he started with a used Singer black foot treadle sewing machine with a heavy metal stool with a wooden seat. The marching serial/model number on the gold plate is 29K72. After he returned from the European Theater WWII to Manson, IA and worked in a hardware Store, he learned the shoe repair trade and some area farmers staked him to his first store in Palmer, IA.
From there to Pocahontas, IA and then in 1962 to Eagle Grove, IA. Can anyone provide age and estimated value of the sewing machine and stool?You can read about Singer 29K sewing machines here: sewalot.com/

How much would my 1953 Singer sewing machine in mint condition be worth?
To get the best estimate, can you add the Serial/Model number? Also does it have any extras, like the book or accessories or the case? Most importantly...does it work? Ebay and other sales venues are all about the comparables...and you have to do an apples to apples comparison!
The sold ones on Ebay are all over the place....for example
--There was a 222K model that SOLD for $999 plus shipping www.ebay.com/
And on the lower spectrum...there was a model 99K sold for $49.99 plus shipping
www.ebay.com/
If you have one on the higher end of the spectrum and are keeping it...talk to your home or renters insurance broker to make sure it would be covered under your policy in the event of loss or damage!!
I have a Singer sewing machine, model #192 with original proof of purchase and owner's manual; what is it's value?
By Darla B
Antique and vintage Singers generally have little value, I'm sorry to say. However, some in 'mint condition' can auction for a fair sum (rarely into the triple digit figures - but that's rare!). The big money Singer collectibles are the Featherweight machines but your 192 is not a Featherweight, it's a 'Spartan', so named for being the simplest yet hardest working of the Singer domestic machines - the Spartan straight out of the factory (usually the one near Glasgow, Scotland) was capable of handling not only everyday fabrics for clothing but several thicknesses of denim, hessian and jute (burlap), even leather and so the machine had a lot of value to farmers and isolated rural homes. But it was a very inexpensive, stripped down model that didn't come with a lot of accessories.
If the decals are in excellent condition, if the machine is still in working order, if the factory paint is still on and in excellent condition, if the original receipt, owner-user guide (original!), and original accessories are with the machine, if...value depends on all of that and most importantly - if someone is interested.
If you're hoping to sell this machine, do your homework - check on the Singer website for the build date and gather as much of the machine history as you can (for example, was it a wedding gift to a young farm bride and did she use it to sew for the farm or a family soldier marching off to WWI and WWII? Did she sew everyone's clothing on it and do you have any of those garments or a quilt made from the worn out clothes?) - then write that down on a separate sheet of paper - this is called provenance and it adds to the value of the machine; check on eBay and CraigsList to see if yours or any model antique and vintage Singer are 'hot' and selling, and for how much.
Also do some search engine runs using the machine maker/model name-number+collector to see what comes up.
At this moment, the most you could hope for is low double digits (I mean low, like close to teens rather than fifty) but it's possible to make the machine more desirable IF you can prove provenance.
What is the value of a 1966 Singer sewing machine model 625 with cabinet and all parts?
People are giving those away in my area. I would ask no more than $50, since it has a cabinet.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell about sewing machines but as far as sewing machines go, this is not a 'sought after' model and 1966 is not really 'old' when talking about Singers.
You may be in a good area for this type of Singer so if you list it for sale on one of your local sites like Craigslist, USA4Sale, OfferUp or LetGo with local pick up only you may be able to sell it for upwards of $100 but I would start your price at $175 and reduce the price every 6 weeks until it sells.
You will need very good pictures and at least 8-10 so all parts of the machine and cabinet can be seen.
A machine that sounds like yours sold on eBay in 2017 for $170 plus shipping but nothing like that sense.

I do not recommend eBay for new sellers but if you read and study other listings you may want to give it a try.
Be very careful with shipping or maybe list it as pick up only.
I see them all the time for $50 or less. I saw a cute drink bar for the porch on Pinterest that was made from a cabinet.
I have my mother's Singer Featherweight 221. She was not a sewer so it was only used for mending. It sews and has been stored in it's black carrying case and has a little box of attachments and the booklet.
It is shiny black with gold scroll around the base that you sew on. According to the serial # and the copyright in the booklet it is from the 1955-1957 period.According to this website, the average price is $350. www.chatterboxquilts.com/
Check out this link from eBay's sold section and see if you can find an exact match for yours and what it comes with...like the manual, any attachments etc. The more you have, the better...
The prices go up with what you have so this will give you an idea of the value of yours:

Only use exact matches and don't use what people ask in current auctions...value is only in what someone has actually paid.
These are neat old machines!!
The last time I looked they go for around $400.00.
