Yep, the funnies in the equation.

Looking at the trends - Wiard #1 goes for over $10K (then re-listed I  
think?).  One Classic VCO early version goes for $1100.  Yet a 6- 
module later generation is listed at $6K-7K and no one bites.

Just saw the same thing happen with Serge panels - folks selling  
contemporary STS panels can't move them at a decent price, yet  
someone lists an '80s vintage with arguably worse manufacturing and  
they go for far more.

Go figure.

Must be the ebay blind collector syndrome.

Regards,

Bill
