Could also be a sign of people snapping them up at Costco and selling them
for more on eBay. Costco had them for $70 USD which is quite a good price
for a fairly new set retailing at $90 USD more commonly.
A few weeks ago it was also possible to snatch up a few HP trains for $30
each because of an apparent misprint in a TRU sales ad (whereas TRU wouldn't
make good on the price, Walmart WOULD DO price matching).
Whereas the former was posted about up front in these very Lugnet
newsgroups, the latter is something I expect many people might have done but
not have admitted publically.
BTW, sorry to foul the waters of your thread in its infancy with my froggy
presence, but since everyone hates me anyway -- I just don't care!!!
