YES!!! That is a ***wonderful*** price for a 301, even without the case.

I certainly would. The breaking thread is most likely an easy fix/adjustment. It looks to be in good condition.

I would buy it. The ad says it is steel; it isn't it is aluminum. Definitely worth the 60.00 especially since it has the case.

I found a case once and paid $40.00 for it alone. Even if you decide you don't want to keep it, it is worth much more if you resell it. They are selling quickly when listed on one of the Yahoo groups for between $175.00 - $200.00.

I would buy it in a heartbeat. In fact I wish I had seen it first, LOL. But the link says $150, not $60. Are you getting a price reduction? Lucky you!!!

I'd give $100 or so in a heartbeat. I love my 301.
