I was not as lucky as you with the price. I saw it on sale 2 months ago at a Walmart 400 miles away from home. Bought it for $40.00. Then did some research on it. Last week I took it back to our Wally world and they would not take it as they don't sell it. And of course I had lost my ticket. So I took it to the Pawn Shop! I got 17.00 dollars for it. Which was better then nothing. I just didn't like the look of the blades. I guess my head was somewhere else. But the guy in PS looked it up on internet said WM was selling it for 79 dollars. But I never plugged it in....Makes me sad, as I could have gotten so much fabric with that 40 dollars...Oh well. You would think at my age I would stop and think....
