$2199.  I had to settle for a 9600/300/64/24x/4/zip for $2007, including
shipping.  They are "refurbished", which as near as I can figure means
they put new tape on the shipping box.

Just want to remind everybody that I'm not the one selling this thing. 
But I have seen the crazy prices they seem to be getting recently.  Even
Roger Nichols in the Dec. '98 issue of EQ commented on how the 9600/350 in
particular seems to be wildly increasing in price because of the lack of 6
slot G3 machines, and 'cause it's the only pre-G3 machine that will run
OSX.  I could care less what anybody asks or gets for the things. I've got
one already and have no intention of parting with it.  As for anybody else
that *is* selling one, if you can get a lot of money for it, more power to
you.  For those who don't specifically need the 9600/350, get a 9600/300
like the one mentioned above and be happy that you've still got a powerful
6 slot machine and you've saved yourself a bunch of money!  But if you
want a 350, it's probably gonna cost you unfortunately.
