I don't believe anybody is speaking to perceived value as much as historical market cost at various times over the years. I paid $200 for my 5370B last year and it's in superb condition and well inside factory specs. There is no way I'd sell it though. My guess is Bob C and most of us perceive the value to be much greater, never mind the actual cost.
