It's been there for a while, and the price seems to be going up... not sure what's up with that!

And my 5 year old computer cost me $3,000.00. And anyones old Yamaha DX7 is worth $1,500. And a Hammond B3 is going for $7,000.00. And my 8 year old car is still like new. And my PRS custom 24 is going to be a collectors item. And someday my cat will behave like a normal pet.
 
I see these ads on CL all the time and it never fails to amuse me.
