2 Channel Custom Racked SSL Mic Preamps

I saw this ad in a local classified section and was wondering if this is a
good price for this unit?

2 Channel Custom Racked SSL Mic Preamps - $900

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These mic pres are custom racked and include a 24 volt power supply. There
is phantom power, a pad and phase invert. They are about 6 months old and
are in mint conidtion both functionally and cosmetically. There is xlr ins
and outs on the back of the unit. The preamp modules inside are E series. If
compared to neve or api, they sound very clean and rich. I love them for
drum overheads.

I can't afford them and I'm sad to see them go---I'm asking 900 but I'm
willing to negotiate if they sell quick.

I would think removed of the SSL buss problems, and voltage issues, they might
actually sound clean, particularly for HipHop/Rap type drum sounds.
