I doubt they will honor the sale price, they didn't offer to tell you about the sale when you bought it. Take it back and buy one on sale. But on Black Friday there may be only two or three per store and getting one online will be just a matter of luck. And the Joann's here will already have them sold the second the door opens if they do like they did with with the good sale items last Black Friday.

I too was disappointed when I first tried my 2 1/2" strip cutter, but after seeing it in use at Market I've changed my mind and use it a lot now! To make sure you don't have the uncut spots at the fold end, make sure that folded side is just down below the cutting dies...works every time.

In case anyone decides to try sewbid, please please make sure you thoroughly read how it works before spending money there. In a nutshell you pay to bid even if you don't win. I've seen where a lot of people have been disappointed with sewbid after spending lots of $$ (I believe minimum bids to buy is $40 worth or something like that) and ended up with nothing to show for it.

I love it for strips. I have a longarm and I can take the backing material from the edges and bottom of a quilt sandwich after quilting and cut them in a wink into binding or into strips for other quilts. There is very little waste and depending on the width you can cut up to 5 strips at a time all just as straight as an arrow.

This true. You have to have a strategy and know when to bid. Bid too soon and you send more money than necessary. Bid too late and you lose what you have "invested" in the auction. It is not like e-bay where the auction ends and you can bid at the last milli-second and win. The SewBids auction continues with everyone getting about 10 seconds to challenge the previous bid. It doesn't end until everyone but the winner quits. You have to treat it like a game and expect to lose sometimes. The secret is to not spend a whole lot of 75 cent bids to be in the final 3-4 bidders and hope there isn't someone with more money than sense. Go on and just watch the auctions for a while and see who the players are and how they operate. Even I seldom challenge the wild newbies and those that bid to win at all cost ones.

Shoppers Rule has the smaller GO BABY cutter on sale for $99 right now. It uses most of the same dies as the regular GO cutter but is smaller. Check it out. Not much money to invest if you want to try it. Start with the strip cutters and a couple of others. http://www.shoppersrule.com/

If you go to Accuquilt site, they show every die & they have several sizes of strip cutters. I'm getting the 2 1/2" die....seems to be the size strips I use the most.

Which is the best buy for cutting strips, the Go or the rotary strip cutter?

Look up Accuquilt Go in the search at top of this page.There's a lot of info there.Most owners say the Go is great for cutting,that it beats other machines.I would think the smaller Baby would work fine, but you'd need to check out just what dies you can use with it.The Accuquilt site has all the info you need.
There are also a couple pro cutters said to be top of the line,but a lot more $$.
