Found this CL, I like it, I want it. I am bidding.

Is this cadillac green? Looks more blue to me.
Now @ $511 is this reasonable?

A lot depends on the final price that it sells for and damage - would ask detailed questions and ask for pics of the finish cracks.

From the description, less than $700 is a steal; Good deals: with no finish cracks and a natural or black finish - $850-900; newer ones with OP-50 & XLR - $1,000-1,200.

Good luck!!

Noel, my opinion is that it will go for $900 to $1000, maybe even a touch more(that isn't "what it's worth", it's what I think it's going to bring). Whether it's worth that to you, that's your call. Good luck.

Thanks for your input.
I did email the seller about the color; i.e. do the pictures represent true color and some info about finish.
I really like my deep bowl 1617 and think this would be a good addition. Had not paid much attention to carved bridges before, but this one seems to stand out against the top color.
Price info very helpful.
again, thanks
