I try not to pay more than around 50 bucks for these, but they have been selling for pretty high prices recently.

It's sold already. I kind of thought this was a "pretty good" rather than great price. Prices do seem to be getting a bit much. People trying to sell XTs for $150 and more too, though I doubt those are selling well. I guess it's all what the market will bear.

Yeah I've noticed those high priced XTs too, but I'm  hoping it's just a phase! :-)

The AT is an order of magnitude more rare than the XT, and an order of magnitude better, in my opinion.

I am awaiting some new springs to complete an ANSI/Alt mod on an AT that should make it an extremely desirable product.

Yeah, that's a mod I've been wanting to do to my AT as well. I kind of feel like I would prefer if the new holes are cut by a CNC machine though as I want a nice result. Anyone done that before? Should be fairly straightforward and I would think local companies could probably do it, just haven't actually looked into it yet :/

I am more used to seeing AT's go for $150-$200, but will admit that I don't watch them as closely as I used to.

That is a lot of overkill. With a cylindrical grinding bit on a Dremel it goes very fast and it is not hard to control.

Just curious, what spring weight are you gonna use?

The too-light springs that lot_lizard ordered a couple of months ago, I think that they are in the 40g-50g range.
