It's been listed twice before at $899 with zero bids. Not sure what the selling strategy is, he raised the price by $100 and the shipping charge $15.
There was another one on the GC website that must have sold recently since it's now gone. That one was listed for $999 if I remember right.
CME recently sold one that they had listed at $1300. If they discounted it at all, their usual maximum discount is 15%.
The only recent sale on eBay was listed at $1195 + 65 shipping, best offer accepted.
IMHO $999 plus shipping is still a good value.
