[ICOM] IC 756PROII value?

I really can't agree with the no-market theory for used Pro 3's.  For  
$1800-2000, you can get a rig that performs dang near as well as the 7600, for  
TWO THOUSAND dollars less!  I think ICOM and Yaesu will find there isn't  
the market there for $4k radios as much as they think.  The 7700 will go  
obsolete soon, and your choice will be and entry $1k rig, a $4k rig, or the  
Caddy $10k rig.  It will alienate MANY of us, myself included, that thought  
$2600 was about the most I'd ever spend on a new rig.  No way in Gods green  
earth I will ever buck up $4k + for a rig, and, I can afford it. That's not  
the issue. 
 
I think there was a rush of guys dumping the P3 in order to get a 7600,  
and, that will soon level out, and the market will rebound for the P2 and P3,  
solely because they are affordable, very good performers.
 
Just my 2 cents..
