Hi,
No problem. My poly-800 was $132.50 plus shipping, and that included a hard case.
There was no manual or AC Adaptor, but the sheets with parameter info was there.
The board came back MINT.... the guys in my band (who saw the original back in 1985
when I bought one then) couldn't believe it.
$100 to $150 is the going rate on a running poly.
