If this performs as I expect there will be a Gibby 335 for sale.

This is coming from Japan. So, two more weeks estimated before it arrives. I paid 1450US + shipping.

That sounds fair to me.

I thought so. @PeteR The shop was asking ~1625. It was up for a year.

Of course there are many out there asking crazy prices. 2000-2500$US. But there is a lot of variation in the flame. Some poorly matched. Some fade out in places. Really gotta look them over.
