LOL, I was just going to post about this, but Psycho Puppet beat me to it.

I was also hesitant to draw a $1300 board to anyone's attention as a "great deal"—but that's beam springs these days, ain't it?

At least bike parts are still pretty cheap!

Actually that hobby of mine has been more expensive than keyboards lately! I have a custom hand built frame coming my way as well as most of the parts needed and some of the tools to put it together. At least once that's finished and I have all my kit then I'll put a hard freeze on any big ticket items.

Much closer to a "reasonable" price than that $2k+ one, but still a a little bit too high IMO. I believe this seller also sold the other one posted here for a little bit less.

Both units appear to be in very similar condition to the ones I excavated a few months ago but it seems this seller genuinely found these somewhere. Also located in California but in a pretty rural area, so I am a little bit curious how these were found.
