Quoted from Aurich:Has there ever been a pin before WOZ where the price has gone up constantly while it was still being made? You could buy a NIB Standard for $7k not too long ago. Now an opened one commands more than that, so I presume the actual NIB is what, $8k now? If we believe that shaker and invisiglass value is this an $800 savings over new? I don't honestly know. I guess that's a pretty good deal, relatively speaking.
The problem is JJP taking 3 f'ing years. If he would have banged them all out at one time you would have a tighly grouped pricing range. There are used le's selling less than what the op is listing a standard with upgrades for. Difference is, the LE was bought at $6,500 and this standard was bought at the (at least is appears as though) the newer standard price. What a cluster "F" jack has created.
I feel for you OP. I hope you get what you need.
