It's 800 now? I remember seeing them in the early 2000s for about 200 USD in used music stores and pawn shops, and even then people thought that was expensive since everyone were starting to hype analog stuff and had some disdain for them!

Hehe... there’s one on Gumtree for $580 AUD!
But at the time, you couldn’t give away Prophet 5s! If only I had a time machine

I was too young at the time but I remember older people saying the same about Les Pauls, Jazzmasters and vintage guitar pedals in the late 80s!
It was truly a weird time in terms of music and music equipment! Everything from the 50s/60s/70s went out of style, but returned in full force in the 90s, while the 80s stuff started getting rejected. Crazy!
