TS, welcome to group and good luck with your first purchase. Sulli seems to have answered your questions quite well and I agree that although TAF is a great Pin and highly sought after I would stay away from that one...at that price anyway. Depending on the rest of the Pin I wouldn't give more than $500. Hopefully the guy is not trying to take advantage of a new PinHead but I can not figure out why he thinks he is going to get $3000 for it. Good Luck and keep us posted.
