Sorry! I was trying to type it as fast as Brad said it, it was the end of
the session and the questions were coming fast and furious. What Brad was
getting as was this: The fact that 6 packs went to some one person at 110
means what? Nothing, really, as far as predicting what the correct price
point is. Yes, there is demand but how much would people pay? They don't
tend to use ebay pricing data for a great deal other than realising that
demand IS there, they conduct other studies to try to determine what the
price point can be.
(that is my interpretation/recollection, may not be 100% correct)

I would tell you if Brad said! All he said was that they are aware of the
desire for more kinds and it is being looked at very hard and very seriously.
