Yeah! I've noticed that too. The hard part I have is trying to find a synth in good conditon. That is in good physical condition, as well as functioning properly. Whcih tends to be rather difficult at times. The ones that are in good conditoin have high prices or reserves, where as the ones that are in poor conditon ar sold for almost nothing. The ARP AXXE that I have has, some keys that tunred yellow due too age. Because ARP used Cheap plasitc keys. Also two sliders are snapped off. But they do still work.

Trying to find any vintage synth at a reasonable price is hard. You said prices were comming down? Are people looseing interest in vintage gear?
