As someone else mentioned, there was a limited supply of these things. It
appears that a major pharmaceutical firm liquidated its inventory of MP2K
series Newtons. At least one reseller got a hold of them, and offered them
on eBay. I'm guessing that they offered the best ones first, with all the
goodies, but as their supply dwindled, they had to bring out the seconds,
and finally the thirds and lasts... You are on the tail end at this time,
picking up the pieces. Sorry you have had to run into this. Maybe after a
few more weeks, we will see the prices of 2k series start to rise again...
