That serial number and motor control card don't make sense. I have 1407
and it's a 400SM. But it does have the lens cap, so I guess the price
is fair

I like this statement: "New reissue versions of the Model 400 are
going for over 7,000.00! Why not have the real thing?"

Who's making the "new reissue versions" and how come they're not
the "real thing", and why is the "real thing" worth $1500 more than
the "new reissue versions"?

White MkVI with flight case: $6800
You can't call an M4000 a reissue version of the Model 400.

At that price he should be including six new loaded tape frames, a
flight case and a one year warranty.

If the venerable and relatively scarce Mellotron is described as
'ultra-rare', what superlatives have I now got left to describe my
Birotron, one of only 5 known surviving examples?

>I guess my "ultra rare" Realistic 8-Track recorder is worth possibly
>25,000$???

Cor - do you mean 8 track as in 'cartridge'? If so we could do a bulk
sale - say $100,000??? (The recorder would be handy for making new
tapes when the Btron has chewed them!)

Btron #015 - very nearly complete now!

The price has been dropped to $7500 with this added comment:

"I've already had an offer over 4K. So please, I really don't need
anyone's opinion of value. Especially when they don't own one!
Besides everybody has an opinion, kind of like Trans Ams in 1978!"

OK, who's been harassing the seller?

It has been re-listed. ebay Item number: 220353827108
BIN $4999.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220353827108&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37.l1313%26satitle%3D220353827108%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1

"I've already had an offer over 4K. So please, I really don't need
anyone's opinion of value" sounds like baloney to me. If he's not
selling it yet has an offer of this size then he'd be taking it.

He's right. He will only know the true value at the end of the auction.
