I've been negotiating with the seller all week but the seller chose to pass on my offer. If anyone else has a nice Series one they'd like to let go of, I'd try to offer a generous price - just not quite the $$$ this seller had in mind.

Boy, that is a rather sweet looking Series one.  Too bad it's so pricey (as others have said).  He'll come out of it and sell it for a more reasonable price I'm sure...unless someone like me who is  weak gets a good look at it AND has the cash to back it up( I DON'T have the cash  )

He has lowered his starting bid. It is now $6000.

But notice he has dropped the case. It used to be included, now it is available to be purchased separately.
 
There is no mention of the mysterious amplifier.

You are right Todd.  In fact, the last time he offered it with the case and indicated that he had another case that could be purchased separately.
