Not sure whether this is legit. If it is -- and the restoration was executed by Kent Spong --, I´m afraid this is the price to get used to.

As a CS80 owner I can say it´s worth every penny.

do they really want $25K, as it also says:

*****ITEM IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING COMPLETE RESTORATION & WILL BE LISTED IN THE FUTURE AS A $1 - NO RESERVE AUCTION*****

I just thought this listing was a bit of a joke either way.
The going price for a recently restored one is usually half that, around 6000-7000 £, I am not sure which synth would be worth $25k (mega modulars excluded)

In fact, a couple have been sold at prices like this.

Of course this is mental.

The auction as such is quite interesting, especially when checking the seller´s feedback. Seems to dabble mainly with Caterpillar excavators etc., and lo and behold, in 2011 he had already sold a CS80 but apparently, 1,800 US$ wasn´t enough.

What a time-waster.

Perhaps a Fairlight CMI.
