I regularly see them for $350 - $450 locally on craigslist. That has not changed much in the last few years. What has gone up is the price of 301s, I see them now mostly $150-$250. I have 2 FW and love to sew on them but no way would I pay that much. I watched for about 6 months and got my black one for $150. Later I got my purple one for $140 but I was lucky, looking late at night when it had just been posted. I also have 3 301s, that I paid $5 - $50 for.
