Hmmmm...I thought about it but I have my hands full at this time with the 2- group Linea rebuild. It got too high so I never entertained a bid. Probably a good thing as its always nice to look forward to something! Plus you never know how high it would have gone to with additional bids. I'm thinking maybe Terry got it?

Seriously, does anyone here really think this GS worth $3200? Considering you can get a new GS3 for around $5500.

Whew. It's not just me. I guess I figured since it had been sitting in that church for 20 years, you got religious icons in the crema or something.

Have you worked with either machine much less both?

$3200 is a bargain for a nice GS . Really.

I watched too...I did this at the end of auction... :shock:

..."3200?!?" "No SIR!!!"

No offense, but I bet my 25 year old, $325 delivered, Pub S is pulling as nice of shots as that machine did and will....

But it shore is cool, hope it went to nice home.

I shot my mouth off, but if you look at the auction it seems to have gone to a professional trader. Auctions that are fought out by amateurs and then picked off at the last second by pros are usually undervalued. I don't personally see it, but what do I know...

Again... what do you base this on?
Have you worked on a GS?

If you notice... the folks who have the highest odds of having done so are saying it's a good deal. Perhaps they know more than you about this topic?
