I'm not familiar with west coast pricing, but from what I hear,it is very high. If it were celeste, it would be worth even more.
Not that it matters, but you keep saying it has 600EX. My understanding is that the "EX" was an improvement over the standard 600 and I believe is denoted by the 6208 model #. This is the 6207 group. Everything else sounds about right. Thanks.
