dec talk express prices?

Hi Karen:

Well, as has been remarked on already, prices do vary widely. I was 
attempting to acquire one for the longest time; pouncing every time I read 
of one being available, only to find that someone else had found out about 
its availability first. Now, one development that has caused the prices of 
used DecTalks to come down is the availability of the new DecTalk USB, which 
can also operate in serial mode. IRTI was having a christmas promotion last 
year which enabled me to acquire a DecTalk USB for $645. Then, I learned of 
the availability of a DecTalk express, and while I now had a brand new 
DecTalk capable of working in serial mode, I did, figuring you can never 
have enough hardware synthesizers, acquire the used DecTalk express for $300 
plus shipping. The seller was both honest and maticulous about the care of 
his DecTalk; it was, and is, in pristine condition.

Given the availability of new DecTalk USBs, I wouldn't pay more than 
$350-$375 for a used DecTalk express.

HTH!

John
