You're not the only ones who are surprised about the prices the last
2 AN200 modules have gone for. I had just sold an Oberheim Matrix 6R
to fund the purchase of an AN200 to back up my AN1x and hoped I could
get one for $250. Anyway, I gave up at $295 - just below the top bid
of $300. I love the sounds and programmability of the AN1x but I
already haul 3 keyboards (a Roland D-50, a Hammond XK-2 and a Suzuki
SS-100 piano) and dont really want to haul a 4th keyboard unless I
have to....
