Yamaha CS80

And I used to think the 6,000 Euros a broken one -- without any accessories -- fetched last year was *way* over the top. This is insane, but that´s probably just me thinking this way... the lucky buyer has absolutely *no* idea about the pleasures of CS80 maintenance and restoration work, I reckon.

Stephen (who wouldn´t part with #1591 for 25,000 US$).

  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 worth that 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.).
