Personally I think the prices will drop. At least I hope they will- i would pick one up for the "new price" in a heartbeat. As you imply the supply at a glance seems far greater than demand but prices are staying at the $500 mark.
I've been on the list for one for little while. I want to give it another shot, try 12V, some EQ, etc.. Would be cool to get one before my name comes up, but seeing how hard these are to move at $500 in this market I wont risk buying one at that price.
So for any of you with ones for sale in the emporium, LMK if you want to move any lower, you have a buyer right here!!
