I absolutely agree, but I can't FIND a decent priced one anywhere.
Also, I am in the US, so 600 Euro is pretty ridiculous for me. the
Mono/Poly cost about $400-500 USD in 1998 (about $250 in 1993!).

It's not that I don't want to pay or anything like that, it's just
that I cannot pay such a large amount at once. It's simply not in the
cards right now. And I have no credit, so I can't get any kind of a loan.

I'm definitely going to get one, it's just a matter of procuring it.
I was thinking about the Polysix, but I decided I really didn't want
to have to settle. Especially when it's concerning such a large chunk
of change.

I'm hoping someone has one who is willing to let it go for a
reasonable price and is willing to work out some way of paying for it.
Like I said, I can make payments monthly or something along those
lines, I just can't drop $800+ at one time while paying for school and
such.
