Yamaha CS80

All, thanks for the replies!  I'm SPEECHLESS...

Scott: why stop at $16,000???

Laurie: I mean just what I said.  I don't like the CS-80 better than 
the Memorymoog, Prophet10, OB-X, Jupiter8.  But I do like it!

What the market will bear indeed.  Again, I just can't believe it.  I 
had no idea they were going for more than $4k.  

Now, that said... I agree with the guy that said he wouldn't sell his 
for $25k.  When it costs $50k to redo a kitchen, or $150k to send a 
kid to college, my lifestyle isn't going to change significantly even 
for a good number of thousands.  Man, if the wife finds out and I 
refuse to sell it though... I'm going to be sleeping under it!!!
