They may be old and klunky, but you still pay thru the nose for 'em. The only place you'll find ARP2600's for that cheap is probably in your dreams, or in Heaven... The cheapest 2600 I ever saw was 5-6 years ago, for $450. I continue to kick myself to this day for not finding a way to grab it....

Still in boxes, never opened. The price they're asking is so far out of the ballpark that they haven't been able to sell a single unit, and they WON'T haggle.
