Yamaha CS80

remember-what one person is willing to pay for something doesnt
immediately make that number "market value". 

i was under the impression that as of the last 2 years, market value
was 5-8k, as ive seen them sell for that.

i paid between 3500-5k for mine last year, still seemed like alot, and
it was definitely worth every penny. in fact, i now consider it a
steal.  what does $7500 in 1977 dollars translate to now anyway?

lets put it this way, if a jupiter 8 is worth 4-6 grand now, cause
that's what they sell for, maybe a cs80 IS worth 15k. i sure like it
3-4 times as much!
