Actually, I don't know what to think. Certainly the price is right, at about 1/3 of it's new price. On the other hand, those who are buying a serious instrument like that...are they likely to be buying it via eBay? I don't follow European auctions, and it was interesting to me, to see the reversal of the use of decimal points and commas, in large numbers. They wrote the price as 3.000,00 Euros which meant 3,000.00 (U.S. notation.) For a second it threw me, with only two places after the comma! Then the rarely worked part of my brain handled 'comma-in-lieu-of-decimal-point' okay, and I was faced with a large number (over a thousand) having a decimal point where I would have expected a comma! I know, I know. I'm okay now. <BG> keith whaley
