Warren,
Unless you are really needing the machine now, I'd wait and hope for some
price drops on models that are newer to the $1500 range. I bought my 560x
with the same specs you saw new for $1149 from Computability. They
eventually raised the price to $1249, but I don't think they have any
left. I think $1250 is alot for the used 560x. If I were selling mine, I
would sell it for $1000 at the most (expecting people to offer $900). I
would rethink paying that much for a used one from eBay. I see by a quick
look that the 560z is selling for $1799 new from Microwarehouse. Perhaps
the price will drop a couple of hundred in a month ( no promises)
