No flames, but I don't get what the point of your message was.
If they sell high, then that is the market value. If they don't 
sell...that's not the market value.
That's it.

I intended this for the Drake reflector but inadvertenly sent it to the 
wrong one. I can already feel the flames......






Please don't respond to me via the reflector but I have to get this off my 
chest.

WHY do I see Drake stuff on a certain auction site, e-sumthin', and the 
prices go from crazy to ridiculous?

I'm not knocking the guys who run a valid business that sells stuff but the 
run-of-the-mill auction stuff. The prices seem to head for the stratosphere 
and I'm not going to participate.

I could point out stuff, today, that is out there that I wouldn't pay more 
than two-third the current bid. It's just insane, inane or both!

OK, I feel better after refusing to pay what appears to be artificially 
inflated prices for gear.

If you must, please respond to me directly. I am willing to endure any 
flaming that is deemed necessary.
