Re: istD button battery cover?

This is going to seem bad, but the *ist-D is now over 10 years old. Heck I bet that the last one manufactured was probably produced in 2004 and that production run was sold until they ran out in 2006. Last time I saw a *ist-D for sale at KEH it went for less than $90.00 in EX condition.
