I wonder how much they'll go for.. Going by recent ebay sales prices have dropped quite a lot.

If you want to bid, you have to use a proxy like http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/. Prices could get quite high since from japan adds a percentage on the final price.

Doubt it.  I'd be surprised if it got half that.

Years ago it would've been, but a few 5000s on ebay have gone for around $500 recently.

Josh on DT pointed out that the pictures for that sale were actually from 2013, so I'd bid with caution on that one..

Coming from a guy with a MX5000, yeah, it's probably gonna get there.  The hype has died down quite a bit from a few years ago.

agreed, especially with the plethora of upcoming split ergo products coming out. The 5000 is to "floppy" for me to really enjoy.
