Some years back, racers were paying a premium for the 948's. Has that demand ceased? Jay Fishbein, CT 5 6 7 S etc. etc.

In talking with one lister in particular it seems that a 948 can be attained for a price of $200-$300 dollars. Is this a fair assessment of the price range and (I almost hate to ask this) would it be
