Actually, the prices have been dropping to near nothing, IMHO. For $500 CAD locally I can get an Emu Ultra 4000, at about half capacity for RAM etc, with original box.

To compare, I can go to the suuuuper-cheap hardware places (we're right across the pond from Japan, and get some of the best computer hardware prices in the world as a result), and build myself a nice, top-of-the-line fast new computer for about $1200 CAD, without a monitor. Then you'd need to add at *least* another $500 for a soundcard with D-A's and A-D's as good as the Emu.
