Jasedee gets a new toy...

[Hollowcell]

I have been keeping an eye for a good one since you mentioned you wanted one a while back. Honestly I haven't seen any that I would put into the clean catorgory though. A few have had the hard cases, but they most were rough either cosmeticaly or functionaly. I even thought about buying a few and building a nice one, but the time wouldn't be worth the resale value.

Not sure if you're too keen on knowing the prices here or not, but mostly they have gone for about the 15000-22000yen price here. That's about $180-$270 roughly in Ausi money at the moment. I don't know how much a mint one would sell for like the one you bought though. They are becoming a rare find it seems.

The way I look at it with the older Analogues. If you find a mint one that is perfectly stable even at this age, they are better to buy than the newer analogues. The price you paid would be cheaper than buying something new in the same quality. It's all relative.

Let me know if you want me to look out for a DX. There are about half a dozen on the auctions here at the moment. There are a few of the racks as well. PM me if want some links for them.
