No one is buying SLR's

If you look at the eBay prices for SLR's in during the last 30 days, the highest bid on any new SLR was $250,200!

That's what happens when you charge 4X what it is worth in the initial year of sales. The USA car dealers suffer from this madness where they ask more than something is worth. IMHO it always comes back to bite those who think that customers are complete suckers.

Amen, Brother! And pass the car keys....

These guys played Greedy A$$hole$ -- and I hope that it hurts reeeeal good.

Actually, I think that it was the enthusiast consumer who lost on this bit of greedy-frenzy. I think that the low-bellies are quite accomplished at slithering - that that is how they get and keep their jobs; but I did quite enjoy telling more than a few of them where they could park that car of theirs! LOL.

The same thing happens with airline tickets. There are more tickets on sale a week before travel than there are 3 weeks before travel.
