>DX7s don't go for a high price

It's a 40 years old digital synth (so trivial to replicate one to one), with no special hands on controls as a keyboard, and one with 150,000+ units sold, with about a dozen modern replications.

$400 would already be an impressive sum for such constraints.

But it regularly goes for 800+ in Reverb.com for example.

Good luck finding a 60-key MIDI controller with velocity-sensitivity and aftertouch for less than $200, and it's without getting into replication (of either the controller or the synth).

I rebuild these things. I know the market.
