Did you end up getting it? I don't think the price is too high. It's a great sewing machine. I have just finished making a log cabin quilt on my 2 tone 301 and I'm in love :mrgreen: with this machine! It just hums merrily along. I'm also working on some 'crumb' quilt squares and no matter how small of a scrap I am working with, it just zips right through without being eaten by the machine!

I have 7 301's (Yeah, I know). Condition is very important, but also color and bed length. The black long beds fetch the highest prices. $150 is certainly not a rip-off, it's a little high, but if everything is there and if it's in good condition with a good case it will retain it's value. 301's make for some sweet sewing. You won't regret it. They beat the overrated featherweight hands-down. They are nice and quiet, easy to maintain yourself too.

My 301 is my go to machine. It's set up ready to sew all the time. A friend found it in a church closet during a clean up and it was going to be tossed in the junk truck. She brought it to me. I like it better then my Featherweight for sewing. The Featherweight is of course much cuter.
