actually the prices have been pretty reasonable compared to recent years...
£8000 for a
Near Mint Moog System 55, $11,000 for a Near Mint ARP 2500, etc.

The Fenix prices have been high - probably due to rarity, Buchla prices are
always high it seems,
whilst Serge prices have been generally quite low.. with quite a few not
reaching reserve prices.

The latter ones are more expensive than ever (like simple

I've not dealt with AMS so I can't comment. I did offer a private seller
some £££ for his large
Buchla 200 but he wanted double what I offered. I have since seen the system
as 'sold' on the AMS
site so I do know that AMS can get good prices for their seller/clients.
