Clearaudio Goldfinger v.1 cartridge

Purchased new in 2008, serial number 4454.  Cartridge mounting screws, replacement cartridge connector plugs, owner’s manual, warranty card, stylus guard, original packing material, and the individual response curve are included.  Estimated 600 hours use, the tip is in excellent condition, the cantilever is straight, and this cartridge is functionally perfect. 
What if you really want the new Goldfinger Statement instead?  Authorized Clearaudio dealers will value a working Goldfinger v.1 at $6,000 as a trade-in on a new Goldfinger Statement.  I am not trading up to the Statement, but you certainly can.  See for example, The Elusive Disc web page.
Paypal is accepted with the usual 3% surcharge, also cashier’s check is accepted with a few days’ time to clear.  Will be packed well enough to withstand any likely abuse from the shipper, but will be insured anyway.  Please, no complex money-laundering deals from overseas will be entertained.
