I imagine we are talking "a few" to "several" hundred dollars based
on past attempts to acquire such beasties.  Of course, I've never
been successful at that so YMMV...

If you set a price (or put it up for auction), definitely let me know.
If you want an offer, let me know that too and I'll noodle on it...
