"For your consideration is a Yamaha EX-2. This polyphonic analog synthesizer is one of the rarest, most complex, and most expensive synthesizers ever built. Yamaha's flagship stage synthesizer/organ successor to the ultra rare Yamaha GX-1, this beautiful instrument packs all the sonic possibilities of a standard organ and polyphonic synthesizer into one gigantic and unique package. When released in 1977, the EX-2 had a $25,208 price tag. That's $96,227 today when adjusted for inflation, making it the fifth most expensive synth (in today's dollars) that Yamaha ever made, way more expensive than a CS-80 (which cost $6900 at that same time). Don't miss your chance to get this extremely rare and incredible-sounding synthesizer for much, much less!Even better, this listing includes the extremely rare Yamaha TX-III tone cabinet that originally came with this unit. Also included are the bass pedals and the matching bench..."
The same exact verbiage on a craigslist listing in Tampa, Florida today 25 SEP 2015. How long is it going to take for this white elephant to sell? Probably forever when the seller won't list a price.
