Hi Mathew - In no way would I characterize you or your sale as exploitation. Hell, those Fenix prices are obscene - but, what can you do? I was simply pointing out that your instrument had a high degree of collectability (#1 - intrinsic value).

It is understandable that when one (Grant) takes great efforts to produce and then sees the aftermarket, you become a bit aggravated.

I still do not see anyone providing info that proves the escalation happened before production ceased. Anyone? Remember the Fenix?

With all due respect to Grant's concerns about instrument speculators,
I sold my 300 with great pain (along with an Arp 2600, .Com, and a wall
of Doepfer) to cover the cost of a my Buchla 200e. I would really not
like to be characterized as having exploited Wiard or Grant.
