Absolutely.  I see the people asking 8 grand etc. on eschmay... I 
believe it when I see someone actually sell one and hear that it went 
through :-).  Yet some of the sales I've seen I'm fairly sure there are 
people who would pay 5 grand for one if they're a collector who has had 
a hard time landing one etc.  They are one of those machines that has a 
long historical reputation etc. -Bob
