    First off, you've got the nomenclature bass-ackwards. It's Number 4 and Mark 2.

    Market price depends on location and the relative desperation of buyer and seller. Around here in New Englandicon, if you really, really had to have them, you might pay over $1000 each. If the seller really, really needs cash, the pair could go for $500 or less. Some lost souls would even pay - or demand - more for paper and grease!
