We're not sad that they're going out; it's far better for a product to be appreciated by lots of people than it sitting on shelves doing noone any good. Stock doesn't age well; everyone here wasn't expecting such a big drop, but we're more out of the sales loop than we expected...
SB will be making a big loss on the liquidation; IMHO if some effort had gone into marketing & selling the unit in the first place, such a situation as this would never have arisen. Just my personal opinion.
Take advantage of it, it's an incredible steal... if anyone feels like spreading the word (for example, anyone considering a Neo of Phatbox would be mad not to look at an empeg for $199!)... feel free ;)
