My lucky day...... Got a 301 machine on Monday and went to the thrift store today and found a 301 folding card table. It was not priced and is missing the cut out piece. I had them price it and they said card table some-one took a cut out of so not much good........ $7.00 is that OK...
I said "OK" paid and ran for the car.

Did you set a new land speed record in the process?? LOL :lol:

No, but I think they thought I was nuts for buying a card table with a cut out in it. I didn't correct them..... They even asked if I knew why someone would take a big cut out..... I play dumb really well!!!!

Funny

Woohoo! Great find and a steal of a price. :) Attagirl!

Good find for you....

ROFL!!!! :-P :thumbup:

Thx for the afternoon laugh.... :thumbup:

Now that's a great buy!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy it.

Boy, I needed a good laugh today! I can just see the dust flying behind you!! LOL

Still can't hardly believe it myself!!!!! I know that without the cut out cover it is not as valuable, but $7.00 I am very very happy

Just goes to show that someone else's trash could be your treasure. Great find.

Wow good buy.

Start the car, START THE CAR!!!!

AWESOME!

did you win an Olympic gold?? :)

great find!

You started my day with a smile :-) I hope you didn't get any speeding tickets getting it home!

Could you post a picture so some of use can know what it is?

Whoa Lucky find on both days. Good for you.

You did real good on that deal!!!! I would have done
the same thing too.

Run like you stole it.

I know! Sometimes I feel I need a "get away" car/driver when I shop at Good Will or thrift!

It is actually for a long bed 301, but I will make it work....

I hope you also bought a Lotto ticket, 'cause it sure was your lucky day and then some.

That is so funny. I bet you were just being coy and the anticipation of geting the price was too much!
Good buy!

It reminds me of that commercial "START the CAR" and the
lady is running out of the store!!!!

wish we had a goodwill near.

I am still looking for a 301. I have been looking and thought I had one on four different occasions but so far they have slipped out of my hands. Great find on that table.

I wish we had spell check on this thing.

ROFL too!! :lol:

I adore my "cutout" card table also and have had it for alot of years. I bought it the summer I worked at Singer in Asbury Park, NJ when I was in college. The card table was $10.00 at that time but with the removable cutout. So your price of $7.00 was "just right." I worked all summer for a 401A machine which I still adore and a Wiss shears and pinking scissors. I taught home ec for many years and have been retired for 11 years. Qulting is my life besides my family and I have more fabric than I will ever use up.

New to all this... what is a 301 and what is so special about the card table and cut out? I need to know what to be on the look out for when I go tag sale/thrift store shopping !

The thrift store did not know that this was a sewing table and thought it was just a card table and someone had taken a cut out. Hence the very good price. Sometimes people don't know what they have.

Great find! :)

Good deal! I just bought a card table cabinet & paid more than that at a yard sale. - Mine does have the cut-out piece; maybe thats why it was more expensive LOL.

My what a blessing.
I got my 301 on a Saturday afternoon and the following weekend I got my card table (with cutout).

I love sewing on my 301. I just finished another Bow Tuck purse using it and my 501 Rocketeer.

Have fun with your set-up.

Blessings,
Sandi

I did that with a cutting table from Habitat for Humanity - they had no clue what it was for and asked what I would want it for - paid $10!

I THOUGHT I HEAR A SONIC BOOM TODAY FROM THAT HIGH SPEED RUN. LOL oops i was yelling my ears are still plug from the boom .LOL GREAT FIND

LOL...........LOL.i can only imaging u running to the car with that big table and trying hard not to trip up!! And all the while hoping they didn't catch a mistake !! U go girl !!

And you can bet that after you went running out of the store they were scratching their heads and laughing about the lady who bought the messed up card table!
