How so, sport? Last time I checked we still had a free market system 
here in the US of A...so what's yer point? No money to buy gear or 
just another bored, loudmouthed internet busybody? Hmm?

I suggest you gentlemen check some price lists as to what this stuff 
is going for these days. I agree. Too much money. And these are only 
worth what someone is willing to pay. Whats-his-name in LA (Chris 
Youdell) has a Wurlitzer 200 electric piano listed on his site for 
$1200...... how is that, or my prices, unethical? If someone wants 
this stuff bad enough they can pay my price....or I can keep the 
piece. Simple as that, Bummer.

Y'know I posted a message looking for a Moog tech and not one of you 
responded to that post yet several of you have now deemed yourselves 
blue book experts... and eager to bitch about my prices. If ya think 
they're out of line you are free to not buy anything from me. 

Does anyone in this group actually work on synths for a living? It has 
been my experience that most gear techs often want something for 
nothing or next to nothing... I guess that includes working.  

Somebody respond to the Moog tech post...prove me wrong.
