- I'm not sure why those are the only two choices, but if you're looking
- for someone to pick one for you, I'll be happy to authorize you to inform
- sellers that they are charging too little. In my opinion, a fair price is
- one which is fair to _both_ parties. This could even be accomplished
- by e-mail rather than a post since in the case of charging too little, the
- seller has an incentive to come out with a new price when he or she is
- notified that their price isn't Current Market Value(tm).
-
- At any rate, I like the posts that shed light on the CMV of an item, or that
- tell us about another source for something. In this case, Lee provided an
- additional (and very valuable) service by informing us of a new development
- which is likely to affect the CMV of *all* Sun workstations sold here... not
- just the one in the original post.
