Looks OK, I can't believe that these things are going for $100 with a broken leg. I never use legs on keyboards anyway, and at least this one still has the ridiculous "ear" tab.

A couple of years ago I had trouble selling clean tested ones in the $30-$35 + shipping range.

If the $100 included the Hagstrom, now that would be a different story .....

OK. I wasn't sure if it was a good deal or not. Thought Fs were generally more expensive than this. Probably should've confirmed with someone.

This is somewhere on the high end of the going rate these days.

Shipping to me (an hour and a half's drive away) is $20 which is also high but not ludicrous.

It just always surprises me because this an undesirable layout keyboard and both price and shipping are double what they would have been a couple of years ago.
