Sorry, Derrick....gotta disagree with you. The one that I know of on eBay went for over $900. Mine cost more than $700 in value of stuff. $500 is a good price, and if I didn't already have one, I would go for this in a heartbeat. Paul Sinasohn (...)

I believe it's also got the old style 1 x 1 rounds with Solid tops? and some clear plates? and umm... i think it has some special pieces in the masts that have holes that allow the strings to pass through.
