    I don't have one at the moment to sell but to give you an idea my retail sale price was around $1700 for an MK1 used with some nice features but no GPS. If you get agressive and watch some auctions you can score as low as $1100, I even paid $975 once....

    Thanks Caleb... I haven't been keeping my eyes on pricing and don't know what the great prices are on this one... I've been buying CF-30s. But I have been toying with getting a 31 lately...

    Rob,

    I appreciate the offer but I am trying to look for a used one around the $1200 - $1400 area... Yeah... I'm looking for an MK1... or maybe a MK2 and fairly plain for that money... But this would be a toy for me. I just bought a 250GB SSD and was thinking how much faster it would be in a CF-31 instead of my CF-30...

    I can't justify $3k for my toy... Though I would love to! LOL

    I scored one of these from Rob for a work computer and I have to vouch its AWESOME fast. Rick, I've been buying CF-30s like made lately also and only had one or two 31s come my way, like I said both were MK1s and sold for $1700 on fleabay, but I've seen a few on there lately with BIN for $1300ish, now keep in mind thats retail, I watched one go auction for $1075 the other day, so I think the low thousand range is realistic, if I see any I watch I'll shoot you a link. Also watch craigslist, not sure if you have much locally, but every now and there some pop up here in Denver cheaper.

    I've got a 250GB SSD to go in it when it gets here... Then I will throw my personal CF-30 up on eBay... It must have like 30,000 hours on it by now... But still runs like new
