Vendetta Research SCP-2a price out of line?

Caveat emptor.

The only thoughts that should be expended on pricing should be done by the sellor prior to implementation.

Why would this person not be free to set, establish, and quote a price with which he is satisfied and comfortable without first obtaining from you an approval of his expectation?

I remember looking for one years ago and came up with nada. This was circa 2006 and then it was easily 2 grand, maybe a little more. I think there are some others that are highly regarded, but I’d have to re-research it. (Expressive Technologies was one at the time- but only a step up transformer).

Talk to Dave Slagle. He can probably build something cool and not be as pricey. PS: he did a unit with J Jackson but it's no bargain. Still, Slagle is good, I'm not sure what Jackson is up to these days. Those guys collaborated on a bunch of stuff at one point. 

I have a Vendetta 2C that was owned by Bascom King. As I am moving to a digital only system, I plan on selling it.
