I happily paid $225 for mine on Craigslist. It's in great condition, near perfect case with no smell and all attachments and manual. I figure if I am lucky enough to stumble across a steal I can always sell my first one.

The decrease in price for the FW is very interesting to me. I think it is a good thing, but I was hoping that the 301's value would be a secret only for the truly obsessed. 301's are my favorite machine, and I would hate to see them reach 300-400 dollar levels. If I remember correctly, less were produced of the 301 than the FW's. So while not actually rare, they can be harder to find.

I just bought mine for $175.00 with a case in good condition with some feet at a yard sale. Needs to have the cord replaced but other than, it is a little dusty and the paint is crackled but I'm a happy Camper.

Was at a garage sale this morning in Pittsburgh and the person behind me bought the FW with case (handle in bag shape but some accesories) at its asking price of $225 after placing a quick call to see if her mom still wanted one. I have seen some folks asking $350 on CL but an auctioneer recently told me that if he has one to auction they go somewhere around $200-not the $450-500 they were bringing about 5-6 years ago.
