$3299.99 wow! If wasn't already getting a new one I would consider. Not sure what the condition is like.

Guitar Center is calling it a Series II but us Alembic Cats can see it is really a Series I .

Price looks about right for the condition I can see (worn finish and plain looking top wood).
Maybe even a little high if it's missing the fitted case and power supply.
One of the few good things about GC is that you can bargain the asking price down.

I believe this has been around for a while? If this is the same instrument, I had spoken with a salesman a few months ago (in Maryland?)There was some neck damage and in my opinion the repair work was subpar so I let it go. I informed him it was a Series 1 and gave him the basic Alembic Tutorial.  
 
If any one is interested in this, I would call first.
