What's worse is that they seem to be getting MORE expensive; Last year I saw 1200s going for $60-70, and now eBay auctions for un-riced 1200s end somewhere above the century mark.
Of course, importing one from Europe where the streets seem to be paved with them is immediately ruled out by the prohibitive and immense cost of shipping anything of that size and weight overseas.
Like getting a 4000 or 3000, your only hope is to make a deal with a local yokel too lazy to deal with eBay, or find someone who has no idea what it's worth and wants to get rid of it fast (which no longer happens).
