Yeah too bad. :( If they shipped, I'd ask for one at the same price and give away my other used M-400A2 lol.

Certainly I wish that kind of thing happened closer to home. I was about to ask my neighbor if he would take me there and pick them up seeing how he has a large box truck and he's a long distant driver.  :D

A lot of people, especially on eBay, seem to think that "vintage" or "rare" necessarily equals "valuable". Obviously this is not the case.

I see this a lot with technology-related items on eBay.

Yeah a lot of times people just say that something is "vintage" to make more money off of it. I saw a 115 on ebay that was "vintage" and the thing was used from 2009 lol. and to top it off, it had a 480V ballast so it's not like i'd spend that kind of money (the seller wanted like $200 O_O) even if it was vintage and 120V lol.
