And I used to think the 6,000 Euros a broken one -- without any accessories -- fetched last year was ∗way∗ over the top. This is insane, but that´s probably just me thinking this way... the lucky buyer has absolutely ∗no∗ idea about the pleasures of CS80 maintenance and restoration work, I reckon.
Stephen (who wouldn´t part with #1591 for 25,000 US$).

Subject: [yamahacs80] CS-80 on eBay? ($15,000?!?!?!?)
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 worth that 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.).
