The bidding got up fairly high the last time it was listed, but it never hit the reserve.  In general, prices seem to be going up a bit.  There have been a few specimens that recently sold for much more than I would have anticipated.  This one is a SC standard with an upgraded neck and a cool top... appears to be in great condition.  For somebody who just wants a short scale Alembic I'd say $3500+ (but I suspect his reserve is still higher than that).  But if this happens to have the exact specs you are looking for, it would be cheaper to pay a premium for this rather than commission a new build.  This has a nice top, but the neck is what (I think) sets it apart from most SCs (the Mahogany will give it a warmer sound).
