Looks like the Albuqurque Altairs are coming
out of the woodwork. There is now a 680 and
a 680b to go with the 8800bt.
If anyone was monitoring the auction of the
680 a couple of weeks ago which did not meet the reserve
price of $2500 - thought you might be interested
to know that it was bought by a buyer in Italy
after the auction. The purchaser bought it only
to trade for an original 8800 which he has done.
It will be interesting to see what happens with
these 680's currently up for auction. It appears
that the eBay bidders are not very aware of the
scarcity of the 680 and are consumed by the hype
surrounding the 8800.
The 680's are nice, but the 1500 minbid limit on
each is way to high. I did send the seller a mail
with an reasonable bid - so maybe they end up in
Germany :)
Gruss

(My wrath to anyone giving a higher bid :)
