If you try to sell a used Omni VII this week for $2400 or so you may be in for a surprise.

Knocking a grand off the Omni VII. 800 off the eagle and 300 off a Agro. I wish I was in the market for a new rig. Kinda scary though and makes me wonder about the future. Seems like a 'fire' sale. Just sayin.......Shoots the heck out of the used market for those trying to sell eagles and omni's.
