I need to resist!!! Resist!!! Someone please buy this beauty!
Thank you gentleman. I believe I priced it well so it’s good to get some validation. A bit surprised it’s still here.

Some nibbles but still here (surprisingly?). Let's drop it down further to $650 and I'll continue to include insured shipping to CONUS.
