No offense, but I don't think you should be mad. Well, at yourself maybe. It
couldn't last forever. We're talking about something in limited supply. I
don't think it is anything else except that they've started to run out.
Demand is going back up. Soon, you won't be able to get them under $150 for
even average ones, I think. It's just a matter of time.
If you didn't jump when several dealers had them and therefore there was a
large supply -- and lower prices -- then there really isn't much to be mad at
except for yourself.
I bought 3 of them at $105 or so. All were in excellent condition. Because I
knew that it wouldn't last. That's simply the way it works.
