Hello!

Granted, ebay tends to set the value of items, in
a way, as does demand, but I guess the two often go
hand in hand, so to speak. But the very idea of that
particular unit's rarity (1 of only two made, as far
as we know, correct me if I'm wrong) can easily
justify a 9K tag.
However, will it sell for that? Who knows. As
far a Markus' clear tron, Acrylic is ridiculously
expensive, especially at the thickness required to
build a structurally sound cabinet. It's also very
difficult to work with. Yes, who the hell would buy
one?!? I would, if I had the gimme. Although, after
the money invested in my EMI, I might actually come
within a grand or two of that, possibly. Ahh...but
she's sooo worth it.
