If it was the keyboard version it may not be way off the mark, but this is more than twice the price Bass Station racks normally go for...

if you're really interested in a polymoog, there's been a guy listing and relisting his in better shape that still has polypedals and road case, and he hasn't gotten any bids at even $3k (including shipping). Kinda sad really.

Actully the keyboard is rubbish and much less useful than the rack, it has a lot less going on.

And he's using the image from VSE with his own logo stuck over it so no one will steal the image he stole from VSE.

I've spoke with this guy a few times, and even bought something from him in past... but MY GOD.

...and of course, I could be off -- but I thought Nice P5's were going for around the 3k mark...

That's very true, but for some reason they tend to be more expensive. :dontknow:

reason is there are far more people out there who're relative newbies looking for keyboards and not into rack gear yet.
