If you search around, there are still a few of them out there for under $500. Most sellers however, are going to easily get $550 or even $600 for one in excellent condition. If you can find one, pick it up. This is going to be a real collectors item someday. I wouldn't be surprised to see them top $1000 within 5 years.
