Well it would be fun to have PETs...but at those prices...
Blame it on ebay I guess...(I always do now when I see ridiculous prices for

Or it's the case of someone not knowing what this kinda stuff is

me...probably more ebay's fault...
I wont be paying those prices for these systems - ever...sorry...
