That's just crazy talk. Glad I picked up some IN-9 and IN-13 a while back, but wish I'd bought a lot more. I think IN-9 should be about $5-6ea and the 13s what, $10? I wish, not any more! I think it's awesome that some folks are being inventive and making things, but it really sucks when it ruins the market for specific items which haven't been made in decades.
