I remember seeing this one as well. I don't get why someone would do that. Looks in good shape at least. It's a tad high on the price though.

Laziness, I reckon. Or they may really have developed a revolutionary new layout... Who knows?  :?)

Not really. Ever since Chyros posted his very complimentary XT review, prices have been edging up. They're now commonly approaching and exceeding $100 in open bidding.
