There´s a guy on eBay Germany who´s currently selling an old Yamaha PM-400 mixer... in the photo, you can see a CS80 in the background. His asking price is, hang on a second, 15,000 Euro plus 19% VAT...
And I thought 15,000 US$ was insane...

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!!!
