Huh?

Point 1: The page states "defective." ("possibly defective" in 
English, ok, but "old, defective" in German)

Point 2: You don't really expect anyone to sell a functional 
Memorymoog to Doepfer for US$ 450 if he can get US$ 2,450 for it on 
eB*y?

Point 3: You don't really expect Doepfer to shred a functional 
Memorymoog for a couple of CEMs when they could easily sell it off 
for US$ 1,500 in Germany?

Not speaking for Doepfer,
