  Ebay++ prices? Find a VCS3 for ANY price.  The Arp is literally brand
  new. Minimoogs have gone through the roof and mine are priced no
  higher than most. The Prophet 5 is reasonably priced.

  Well good. Happy for all of them.

  Was that the first salvo???? Yeah.....$1k for the EML 301 in excellent
  shape with a brand new flight case. You should sell yours.

  Adjust MY prices? Why, thank you, sir.

  I'd say next time...have the coffe first.

  Y'know....I'll price 'em however the hell I wish and sell 'em or not
  sell 'em if they're priced too high.

  When VCS3's are going for $5600 in Japan and Europe how is $4300 too
  steep? Should I not be able to take advantage of current pricing
  because YOU say otherwise???  Shoot...some fool just paid $800 usd for
  an Arp string ensemble. I'm hoping that same fool will buy a couple of
  these horrifically priced synths.

  IMHO....anyone who bitches in an open forum about someone else's
  prices really rubs me the wrong way. Then again, I haven't been a
  member of this group long enough to know the whiners from the real
  cats....or long enough to tell you to go....
