This is the same one from last week.

He should be dropping the price by $50 per week, minimum. I think that it would be miraculous if it went over $150.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Yes, I think that they sold in the $200-300 range, but don't you think that a good deal of that premium was because of their provenance?

Odd dates and such...was a bit of a mystery box...but rolled the dice when the price dropped to $175. 

It's the real deal all right.  Absolutely flawless condition...incredible tactile response...difficult layout.

First thing that struck me was how heavy it was...

And that is the smallest of the common Model Fs.

My F-122s weigh in at about 8.25 pounds!
