These things are always difficult to measure, but at Dayton last year
I picked up a 275H and 475H for $900.  They were in great shape,
perhaps quite not in "like new" condition (I could see some marks
on one of the sides of the 275), but the plastic was pristine, etc.

That makes for $450 per rig, which didn't have mics.  The 2 and 475s
are the most common of the x75 series.  This makes them less of a
feeding frenzy.  My two units were in the flea market for an hour or
more before going.  I could go on about the others but I won't. ;-)
