that's quite a bit high even for what looked like a
"physically/cosmetically" mint condition IIx.  However, 
getting the 8" floppy drives rebuilt/recalibrated will
likely be at least $200-300 each, not including shipping.

I suspect it was an existing IIx owner who bought it
to supplement his spare parts supply and make one unit functional.
