FYI I was looking on ebay tonight and noticed there is an Elmo GS 1200 listed starting at $625. Owner/seller says he used it last in 12/2012 and "worked just fine". I thought I would see if there was anything here about it. I think it was listed yesterday? has 5 days left on auction.

You might call Denevi at denevi.com. They are in Hayward, CA. They bought out Elmo entirely, and now service them. You might get a tip about prices from them.

Here is a lists of completed listings for the GS1200 on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=Elmo+GS+1200&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc

That should give you a rough idea on the price, so usually, it's valued more than $650.

That one that sold for $629 look rough. I think a fully working GS1200 that has had a recent overhaul, cleaned, lubricated, all functions tested should fetch $1200 and up. If the unit is very clean and tested than $1000-1200. If the machine looks beat like the one for $629...it may work but I think the outer condition of the machine tells a lot about how well the machine was cared for. I stay away from the cosmetically bad ones.

Thanks for posting the link to that list Gerald. I bought the one that sold for $799.99, and it is in absolutely mint condition. I consider myself VERY LUCKY to have bought one that is in excellent condition as described! The funny thing is, I see from the pictures that Dave Thomas apparently copied the photo of my GS1200 for the one he sold for $1199.99 a few weeks later! [Eek!]
