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
