As with anything at all, Peter, an item is "worth" what the buyer will
pay for it.
That I personally think it's outrageous is beside the point.
I know that.
I still think it's worth more...so if I have one, I either keep it and
shut up about it, or sell it for far less than it's real worth. But,
up to me.

Thanks,  keith
