I think that one has been on eBay for a while.

Edit: Yep, it's the same one...

Good call. Hadn't seen it on the Boston CL before, and I troll it pretty frequently. Seemed like a decent deal to me, but I could be wrong. I'm no Serotta connoisseur. Based on the ebay ad, you know the guy must be willing to ship.
