I'm not sure if you're responding to just me or everyone who's in this thread, because I can't find anything where I said that there were hundreds or thousands of people on eBay making profit off them. I just said SonicBlue threw away a lot of money by discounting them as much as they did, and that difference in value (for all of the units, not just the Empeg ones) is an asset that got transferred to all those who bought them (including those who had reg #'s, those who bought them for friends, etc.)
