 I have spent $800.00 for a days worth of technician on 3 different
 occasions.......What do you mean when you think it isn't worth more
 than a memory moog or Prophet 10????
 
 If you are a trophy hunter, than your logistics may be true......
 
 If you are a CS80 user.......the original $8,000 price tag should be a
 no brainer compared to todays rapidly spiraling dollars.......

 OK, let's say up front the guy isn't going to get his Buy It Now. But 
 even the comments from people ridiculing that number suggest it's
 worth 
 $8,000. 
 
 Is that true? I don't watch them super closely and haven't seen one 
 sell for a couple years. But I've never seen one go for more than 
 $3,500. Twice that? Yikes, they're not worththat much to me.
 
 I love the CS-80, but other than the glamor pretty much defined by
 it's 
 reputation, rarity, and market value... I don't consider it any more 
 desirable of a keyboard than several others that sell in the $3,500 
 price range (Memorymoog, Prophet10, etc.).
