The way I heard it, there might be no more than 20 ever made, and no sign of production. It may have been worth 400.

Heck, a Q just went for $225 on ebay today, and there seem to be a lot out there.

I can confirm at least 32 were made <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

As to the title of the thread, I always feel that there are three stages of pricing to any item, Cost, Value, Worth.

Cost is how much it was to make and ship it to you. Value is how much the average person would be prepared to pay for it. Worth is how much "you" would be prepared to pay for it.

Take water, in it's rawest form it's free, in drinking form most people would say it's value is a bit more (pennies) as most people wouldn't want the hassle of purifyimg it themselves, on the other hand, if you are in the deep desert with no other supplies, how much would some water be "worth" to you ?

For me what I paid for mine was worth it <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
