I normally do that too, but I spotted the listing while I was out and about and didn't have time to dig any deeper. And now I can't find again it so it's probably sold.
Edit: Found it, it's an X5DR. And $200 does indeed sound like a bit much for something described as "entry level".

Now that's an iconic machine! I do have some experience with the M1 though as it was so ubiquitous during the early nineties. A keyboard player I played with had one, and the music store I worked at had several used ones in stock. Just browsing through the presets on an M1 is like hearing a cavalcade of classic pop songs from the late 80's/early 90's, that thing was everywhere
They seem to have gone up in price in recent years. For a while there in the mid 00's, people were basically giving them away.
