They are not rare. There can't be that many collectors.
I fail to see what is keeping the prices so high for these silly little machines.
I don't know, I have a different value system than most I guess. Maybe somebody can 'splain it to me.

I can't 'splain why it is, Joe, but I have to agree with you. It's the same with the 301's. If I had not bought my featherweight with money I inherited from my mother, I still would not have one and I certainly can't afford a 301 since we are now living on social security checks.
