Man, you're telling me. Anybody else notice the $572 PET 2001? And
that auction isn't over yet... Does anyone think this sort of thing
will continue/escalate long-term? It's got me tempted to start
unloading things I'm kinda fond of simply because I have kids to put
through college somehow... Maybe it's best to do it now, if it's just
some kind of fad, then re-purchase at $5 later on when it's no longer
trendy... Decisions, decisions.
