Hi All,

Was wondering if anyone followed the sale of the "new old stock" M400 
on Ebay last week.  Finally sold for $9,600.  I don't know how things 
like this show up.  It was apparenlly never used, or even turned on 
for that matter.  I'm a little skeptical, but I guess it's posible.  
Anybody know anything about it?
