seems to have 2, where the last auction ended on 13/4/2004 with none
sold at
400 Euro each (about US$ 500). I assume he still has them.

If you don't speak German, I would be happy to contact him for you, but
since
he's a professional seller (4559 feedbacks, 99.2% positive) I think you
could
try contacting him (her?) in English.

As for searches, I tried 'c7497a euro' on google; this was on the first
page.

Good luck,
Jurriaan

If it's for an obscenely rich client, how about a nice workstation for
me?
A C3000 will do, a J6700 would be better :-)
