I'm sure there are good ones and bad ones, mine was and is a good one, and most
likely yours is a good one as well.

I don't think I'd sell it, at least not yet as I doubt I could get more than 200
CND even in pristine condition, and I paid 700 CND for it in '89.

It may never be a "hot" item, well not till I'm really old:(
