I detect a sudden and (unlike DUG) welcome interest in a free market
exchange regarding pricing.  What say I create a data base on our web site
where we contribute the following info:

Model
Date Purchased
Approx Age (or bought new)
List Price (if known)
Price Paid
Dealer Name & Location
Comments

It will be a lot easier to collect info that way and make comparisons by
pouring through all the e-mails.  If you want to inquire about a certain
model, issue a request that someone who has one to update the database with
their information.  I'll get it set up ASAP.
