yeah, given the post-scarcity market situation, even 5k is asking a
lot for this, given the massive amount of work every unit needs.

back when it was the only really good synth with poly AT, and the only
way to get a cs80 sound, it was worth a bunch more. but not anymore.
first, a lot of amazing analogs came out, which are objectively just
better than cs80. then, a bunch of very good cs80 VSTs came out, so
now the cs80 is the only way to get a cs80 sound *in analog*. then,
good clones came out, so the cs80 isn't the only way to get the cs80
sound... in any way. meantime, a bunch of very good polyphonic
aftertouch controllers and surfaces came out that went way, way beyond
what the cs80 can do on its... what, 3-bit? aftertouch. and finally,
synths with great performance controls that make the cs80 blush have
been around for a long time. meanwhile, the cs80s themselves have been
becoming more broken, more decrepit, and more difficult to find
replacements for. and the buyer's market *in general* for vanity
purchases has dried up. things that would fetch 100k-150k now go for
less than 10k (that's how I got my insane quad-amped PMC MB2 XBD
setup). people just don't have money at all anymore due to politicians
and billionaires stealing it all. the days of high synth (and, in
general, collectors' items) prices being possible to rationalize have
long gone, sailed away, and they aren't coming back for at least 20
years.

there's no scarcity. there's no value proposition. there are no
buyers. and there is no money.
