MiniMoog SN2001, $500.00 in 1999, or about 1/3 of what they go for.

You might scoff at me having bought a 25 year old synth in the first place, but check out Ebay sometime and see how much they go for.

I got hard up last year and sold it for $1,000.00. The jerk that bought it turned around and tried to Ebay it since he'd gotten it so much cheaper than they usually go for on Ebay (mine was a beater, but worked perfectly), thinking he'd make a quick buck. It ended up selling for slightly less than what he'd paid me for it, plus he'd paid for the shipping to California from Missouri, including professional packing, so he actually lost about $200 on the deal.

My 2600, on the other hand, could have been gotten cheaper, so it all balances out.
