There are many reasons to buy that Redeye!
1. It's an American classic from the age when items were made to last.
2. It's a GREAT price.
3. One can never have too many back-ups -- you don't want to go into withdrawal when both the 301 and the new one is in the shop, right?
4. It sews a beautiful stitch.
5. It is easy to maintain yourself.
5. Eye candy. You'll smile every time you look at it.
I'd be on that deal in a heartbeat!
