There's supply and demand, theres high manufacturing costs, and then there's just plain ignorance when it comes to charging people something completely ridiculous for something that costs nowhere near the price that the last person in the chain bought it for.but then again, if people are willing to pay for it, why not sell it at that price.</blockquote>
