All, thanks for the replies! I'm SPEECHLESS...

Scott: why stop at $16,000???

Laurie: I mean just what I said. I don't like the CS-80 better than
the Memorymoog, Prophet10, OB-X, Jupiter8. But I do like it!

What the market will bear indeed. Again, I just can't believe it. I
had no idea they were going for more than $4k.

Now, that said... I agree with the guy that said he wouldn't sell his
for $25k. When it costs $50k to redo a kitchen, or $150k to send a
kid to college, my lifestyle isn't going to change significantly even
for a good number of thousands. Man, if the wife finds out and I
refuse tosell it though... I'm going to be sleeping under it!!!
