Well, new guy here...

I just bought the 10gig player on 4/10 for $368 when there were 28 of them left. In a week, I saw the price jump to $499 for the same player.

I do think that there's a greedy person behind those sales. I also have done some research and the RioPlayer is/was the cheapest/nicest one available...only if it came with the darn FM Tuner! But, I'm patient...kinda.
