No offense to the chap selling this fine instrument, but as I will 
soon be looking to purchase one, I must inquire.  Is this price -
3750 british pounds (currently $US6400) - a realistic one?  From 
what I gather on here and other sites, IIx's seem to be going in the 
$3K range if they are in top condition. Is there something special 
about this lot that I am missing?

I think It's very expensive...
not real price !
It's a price for 'collectionneur' not for user !

No offense taken.  I based my opening price on the only two recent
sales I've seen in the US. A dead IIx sold for over $3000.00 about 6
or so months ago (it was discussed a bit on this forum). The last
working IIx sold on eBay for just under $6000.00 not more than a few
months ago, and it did not include much of a library, and was cobbled
together from multiple units. 

I felt a complete, late revision (all 4A voice cards) fully
functioning system with a large library, spares, etc., that has a
decent history was reasonably worth the reserve. Peter Forrest agreed
when we discussed setting a price. Actually, my opening price is
somewhat lower than what Peter and I discussed. 

The beauty of auctions is if the market will bear it, it will sell. If
not, it won't.  

Regards,

Daniel
