I have a feeling this will go even higher. I've been watching it since it got added.

7bit, you have the luxury of picking up 1800s in Germany fairly easily in DE layout. ANSI layout 1800s are a ***** to find over here. I lucked out and found a few locally that were about to get recycled and I found a brand new G80-1800HAU the other day (just put ergo clears in it tonight...amazing) but outside of that I have seen almost nothing. I don't think i've seen a G80-1800 on eBay in the last few months let alone one that looks to be in amazing condition with doubleshots.

I had my eye on this as well, but then I realized converted it to clears would be such a giant hassle, and not really worth it except for fun. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time at the moment, and it's price is just too high now anyway.

I must say I find the price justified...1800s with blues are a rarity, even over here in Cherry-Land. Only the older series of the g80-1800 were made with blues, 97% if not more of all 1800 have blacks.
