You could have had this one for $900.

It isn't a great deal at nine bones. I picked one up about five years
ago for $350 (without the CFOIII, which goes for about $125 used). Mine
probably hasn't been out of the tube in past four years, and if it is the
best rod that guy ever fished with, I'd say it must be the only rod he ever
fished with.
