should I buy a 301a for $60?
Is that a good price? Here is the ad on craigslist http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/hsh/3869511584.html Thank you for your advise!

What she said! The prices around here have jumped dramatically around here so I'd pounce on for that price especially with the case and how pristine it looks. Can well afford to have it serviced if need be for that price.

Yes! worth probably $300 if like that with everything.
Case is worth $100. They are fragile so not many are in existence any more in good shape. this drove the price up and that is why people want to buy the case by it self to match most likely a Singer 301 black.
It is nice but not strong at all. If you feel $50 is too much the machine with all the extras is definitely worth $60. I have a Mocha and two tone. they are very nice and cause less eye strain then the black one.

Offer $100 for all.
I went to a garage sale that had a 301 for sale, and the lady wanted $175 for a loose machine with a few attachments, that was completely filthy, and had hair or fur all over it. She said I could make an offer, but I didn't want to insult her, so I passed.

Run and get it. That's an amazing price and those machines are bulletproof. They stitch beautifully,need just a little oil and you're good to go. I have new computerized machines with even feed and lots of stitches....much prefer to sew on a 301.
