Re: Why the High Ebay Prices on XM PCR?

[Charles Adkins]

I was shocked myself. I understand that people started recording music from 
a lot of channels using software that let them make individual music files, 
as they felt people began "pirating music" according to the record 
industry---you know the folks that charge us $20 for a CD that costs them 
allot less to produce than the vinyl did. You can thank the record industry 
for the discontinuing of the XMPCR devices. I'm glad I got one. For a blind 
person, they are the only way I know of that we can have the same access to 
XM text the way our sighted friends do. When I got mine, they were 
relatively unknown.

Think of it this way. If you came up with a pill that you could put in your 
gas tank which would let you get 100 miles per gallon with gas, you would be 
shot and your product burned. When somebody finds an alternative energy 
power source that conflicts with the current structure, the oil and power 
companies buy it and shelf it. I don't know about you but it kind of reminds 
me of a police state.

It's interesting though because a few days ago when I checked the XM site 
still lists the XMPCR as a way of getting their service.

I'm having a problem with Yahoo sports college pass because their default 
volume is way to low and I can't access the volume slider to change it. They 
don't seem to care, after all, I'm only spending $9.95 a month.

If I had time or thought the interest was there, I would explain how they 
killed the satellite industry.

Most of us bought our XM PCR units for between $50 and $70, so imagine my 
shock when I checked out the going prices on Ebay, of $180 to $255 and 
more!

What's the deal here folks?  I can'tfigure out why these units are going 
for so much, although I do like my unit!
