I bought 5 of the 301's at Goodwill online and 2 featherweights - a black and a white. The white had never been used and the case was like new, too. Paid about $100 for each. All they needed were cleaning and oiling and lube. It's easy to clean them, just a little elbow grease. You can learn that online too. I sold all of those for $300 or more. Spend time on the site because the people who "donate" them have no idea how good they are. And you don't have to travel to get them. Happy Hunting!
