ChrisW6ATV makes a good point: That eBay one DOES have virtually no finger wear on the front panel, and it looks just about new old stock due to that. But I agree with everybody that $565 is out of line. Either it's a shill job, or someone just HAD TO HAVE one with the perfect front panel. It's just as how small details of "virginity" radically affect collectible transistor radios, or even small Sony portables TVs from the 60s... You can see two of them in identical shape on eBay; one sells for 5-10 times more because it has the original box & packaging. A couple of years ago in Reno, I saw two PERFECT 1976 Cadillac Eldorado connvertibles at the Silver Auction. Both were truly museum-quality perfect and had under 5K original miles. One sold for $20K, the other for $35K. Only difference was that the $35K one still had the GM clear plastic wrapping on the leather seats, and the floor mats still boxed in the trunk. (they were both the same identical model code and colors)
