There is one on eBay right now that someone is trying to get the glory day prices for. Funny thing is the same listing was about half what it is now at one point and didn't sell then so why raise it again?

Like I said price on it has been coming down

Some blame on ingmar for that

But honestly people are just realizing it's not that rare

Probably greater than 5000 in existence like most 1st party sony press kits

About raising the price,

There is an actual form of logic behind it

It's been awhile since I looked it up but it has to do with some physiological effect

Likely similar in nature to the economic problem, market for lemons

In essence the higher price is a signal to buyers that this item must in fact be rare and highly desirable

It does actual work.......sometimes

Problem is there are other sales impending said effect
