In this case, the "relatively reasonable offer" will probably have to be
between $600 and $2,500, which is what I indicated this system is probably
worth (to the right buyer) to the guy's dad when he called me looking for
a value.
If you get it for $600 then you got yourself a deal. If you pay over
$1,000 then you paid too much.
