There was another one of these recently on SNA for $1,900.  Whilst mine is in perfect condition, it developed a fault in the right channel.  The entire right module was replaced under warranty and so the amp remain essentially as new.  Nonetheless, I have reduced the price by a few hundred from the last sale.  Current retail is $3,599.

 

I have original packaging (and manual) so I can ship, which I would expect to be in the order of $70 ~ $100 over east.
