I dont know where you all are getting this price 
range of 800-1500 for a good rei.
As an EVA cel collector i can tell you a crappy 
Asuka B cel can go for over 800. I think the 
cheapest worth buying rei ive ever seen was 
$3,000. But becides thatim selling a very nice 
misato right now probbly one of the best ive ever 
seen.
