Welcome, Stephen!
I owned a Polysix in 1984 that I loved. Foolishly sold in '88. (Digital toys and sampling were the rage, remember?)
However I bought another one in 1999 that just happened to be the very same one I had sold 11 years earlier with the same patches I had created! I got mine at a local music store for $299 and it was still in great condition and I did have the battery replaced so maybe I paid a little too much as I didn't know to check for the battery until after I bought it.
A good price for a clean unit would be around $250 but check to make sure the battery hasn't leaked or exploded over the board inside.
I also had mine MIDIed recently, got the Kenton kit (wanted the Iotech but couldn't budget the extra for it) but am happy. Cost about $350 US. Then add the cost of having it installed unless you do it yourself.
I would check local shops, pawn shops (heard of some great deals but you have to check out the synths to make sure they are okay), Usenet (rec.music.makers.synth, etc.), and maybe keep and eye at eBay.
I was so lucky to come across the same one I had sold. It was like the Universe telling me my Polysix and I were suppose to be together because if had come a day earlier it wasn't in the store yet and someone had planned to come buy it so it might not have been there the day after I went.

New to the list.
I owned a Polysix in 1982(?) that I loved. Foolishly sold in 86.
I really want that old sound and adjusting multiple parameters on the
fly.
Browsed around eBay - were is the best place to find a good used one?
I have heard the batteries leak...
What a decent price for one these days?
Thanks,
stephen
