SunRem got about 60 units in. Rather than flood eBay and reduce their value,
it makes sense to trickle list them and keep their value - so that they're
perceived as -=RARE=-.

Look at this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80075&item=5716674112&rd=1

Dunno how high this guy has bid, but you might get lucky if you keep
watching sunrem's auctions and bid at the level you're comfortable with. I
have no idea how big the demand for these are, but it might be a case of
waiting in line until the more, shall we say "enthusiastic" buyers have paid
their premium (because they want it now and are willing to spend
aggresively) and just wait for these cards to dip into commodity pricing.

It's already started - these used to list at a starting bid of $49... then
it got lower... lower... now starting bids are $9.99? C'mon - interest waned
at some price point, the low entry level bid is just to motivate the value
shoppers to get in their bid.
