Hard to say. They arent networkable with the newer 798, 898 and so-on. The new 998s on ebay are last years models, so you are two units back. That being said, you can get the new 999s for $1500, the 998's for $1200, and the 997's are few and far between on ebay. This is in the states, of course. If I wasnt looking to network my 898 up to something, I'd buy it for $6-700, personally, if its in great shape, obviously.
