What year SD to buy?

Hey guys!

New to the forum and currently looking at Sea Dwellers online, 16600 model.

I notice some of the mid 90's models are just as competitively priced with the early 2000's models.

Is there a particular "year" I should look at buying? My cap is around $5500 for something with Box & Papers. Would love someone's take on it.

Thanks, and good to be here!

Welcome to TRF. You should find something in that vintage for that price.

Thanks all, but are there any good years or bad years, or is it all priced based on condition and accessories like boxes and papers?
