Emax

Just read a listing on ebay for an Emax II
its a 2212 which have been after.
the user wants $699 and $60 shipping.

Upon checking over the ad closer they are in Chicago.
I sent them a message informing them that the keyboard
has a street price of about $100-$200 now.
and Made an offer to pick it up locally if he doenst sell it
at his price. I offered him $125 and agreed to pick it up locally.
I think its just a matter of time before one of these shows up
in my area at a realistic price.
I dont expect that the seller will accept my offer though.

Any opinions on the value of this model currently?
I really cant see spending even $200 to get another one of these
given all the less than ideal aspects associated.
The noise, the failing disk drives failing lcds
non standard sampling rate...

 I have a sentimental interest in the emax II
My musical need for it doenst go too deep.
