This one would be better value, even though it's a mere CC3

No box or owners' manual, one missing piece, all this didn't help.
Plus international shipping is quite high on a heavy comp.

Im interstate at the moment visiting my son, otherwise I'd cut the
parts of the post I'm not responding to. Sort of hard trying to cut parts of
text using only touch screen on the iPad. The EAS will go for a hefty price,
because:
1. It's playing strength...around ELO 2300
2. The main board is brand new. There will be no problems with component
deterioration for many a long year.
3. The brain behind the operation, Steve Braid, has established a
reputation as a top operator.
A lot of bidders are not collectors. They want the playing strength and
uniqueness of this EAS. Even collectors are interested in it, separate to
their normal collection.

I thought there might have been a mention of this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fidelity-Elegan ... 2120687646
I agree it is in good cosmetic condition. Pity he can't show it working,
even bigger pity about the missing pieces/box/manual/power adaptor.
Biggest pity of all is the price.
