Alex:

both JH and I have been watching ebay closely (US, Italy and other markets); you suggest that, during 2005, five of the 5100-powered Silverstones sold above 2000 euros; I can recall one or two, but definitely not five of them. (I am also aware of a couple of auctions where the price shown on ebay did not reflect the amount of $$$$.$$ than actually changed hands.)

Perhaps you have some photos or detailed references to the auctions? This would be more convincing than the suggestion to "watch more closely" or your conclusory statements.

I am not trying to start (or escalate) an argument . . . only to suggest that we all do better when we can share information, rather than share conclusions (without the underlying evidence).

Jeff
