Re: Auctions of interest:

Hi Everybody...
I bought it (the legit one, not the fraud).  When I saw a CS80 
locally here in Chi, I had to go see it 'cause of their reputation as 
being the bee's knees.  Wasn't planning to buy but... it was in 
perfect condition, that one photo shows some scuffs on the bottom but 
everything else is intact and super.  There's nothing about playing 
it that reminds you it's old.  Doesn't need tuning to my ears.  When 
you see something like that locally with all accessories, and yes the 
sound is unbelievable... I had to make a move.
When I went to go see it Monday, the guy actually offered to sell it 
for $2k outside of auction, but couldn't reach his buddy who's eBay 
account he was using.  I spent the next 24 hours in a panic before he 
confirmed I'd have to go through the auction.  Oh well, he deserves 
it.  Lives in a trailer park = consequence of having paid $6000 1981 
USD.  See photos on auction page, hopefully he can replace that 
linoleum floor with the $$$.
