Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] is $530 a good deal for an AN1x than CS2X?

From: Philip <synth72@...>
Date: 2000-06-28

You can't get AN1X's brand new anymore unless a random
store might have one. I know of one store here in
Dallas, Brook Mays, that has one, but they're selling
it for around $700 (too much). $530 is about $30 more
than most people pay for a used AN, but look at it
this way--at least you get to give it a hands-on
tryout before buying a used one without seeing or
playing it first.
Cheers,
