Jeez, my armor hasn't shined in years (bit more tarnished now, I'd say). Guess whine was the wrong word...Bitching and Moaning may have been more appropriate ;o) Have you contacted Dan as to why he stopped stocking the Libre's or JoJo's? I'd be curious too, although you'll never see my fat butt in a buggy! You do raise a good point as to the 'MSRP' of merchandise. What is something worth? A simplistic answer is that it is worth whatever a buyer is willing and able to pay and what a what a seller is willing to accept. Have you ever paid full retail for a kite? Don't think I have since my first Beetle's (bought in a kite store) and a Prism Stylus (bought from GWTW). Why is that? (And why do some people always get better deals on their cars than I do?) Judging by the fact that GWTW is saying that their first shipment of Illy's are already spoken for, maybe the price is right. Maybe the buyers will change their minds now that the retail price is known. But more than likely those with 'reservations' for the first Illy will get a discount. In the end, if the $330 price tag is out of line the prices will fall, if it's not then GWTW and other retailers as well as Prism will be laughing all the way to the bank! (They use wheel barrow's to take it there, you know)
(Oh, and I take nothing personal) Enjoying life to its fullest, although I'd never be accused of living it right :o) ...later... Steve
