Looks like a nice one.

A year ago those were easily selling over $200 - sometimes

An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

The tiny backspace bothers me more than the fat enter.

Both of those problems are easily remedied.

1/2 hour left and it's up to $150.   Think it's heading north of $200.

Nope, $168.   eBay is weird.

Ebay is not weird. A couple of years ago I was hot to get one of these, and a couple of other people were, too, obviously. For most of the summer it was totally dry, then by late summer a few turned up. We bid them all up well over $100, and after about 3 were sold, the price dropped down to about half.

Supply and demand - as always.

Obviously, demand is slumping now.
