The 301 we purchased at a Goodwill in West Bend, which is about 15 minutes from our home. The tag on the machine showed that it had been on the floor for about 2 days. It was originally priced at $14.99 but on Wednesday's it's senior day and you receive 15% off of any items. The 185J was purchased at a Habitat for Humanity store, there that machine had been there for over a month and just had been reduced 20% when DH picked that one up.

I agree, many times when I am out looking I see the newer plastic machines. Apparently this was my lucky day, I never dreamed I would be coming home with a 301! Jan

You are very lucky to have such great finds. I am looking for my next VSM. Go Packers!

I would love to find a black 301!! I have a mocha 301A short-bed that is an awesome machine. Mine came with the case and manual. The manual even has little notes from the original owner written in it.

Beautiful machine!! DH and I are going to Florida tomorrow. My sister is moving to Largo. I hope to shop at some thrift stores and quilt stores on our way back home. I would be thrilled if a "new" machine came home with me. LOL!! DH, not so much.
