If you are a trophy hunter, than your logistics may be true......

If you are a CS80 user.......the original $8,000 price tag should be a
no brainer compared to todays rapidly spiraling dollars.......

OK, let's say up front the guy isn't going to get his Buy It Now. But
even the comments from people ridiculing that number suggest it's
worth
$8,000.

Is that true? I don't watch them super closely and haven't seen one
sell for a couple years. But I've never seen one go for more than
$3,500. Twice that? Yikes, they're not worththat much to me.

I love the CS-80, but other than the glamor pretty much defined by
it's
reputation, rarity, and market value... I don't consider it any more
desirable of a keyboard than several others that sell in the $3,500
price range (Memorymoog, Prophet10, etc.).
