Yeah i have heard that story so many times....
Kinda like when Astatic stopped making the D 104 a few years back. I went to a local (no longer in business) CB shop and the owner was very hastily repricing all of his D 104s he had BOTH new and used and marking them up to almost 75% markup from the original prices!!! I saw him mark up a NIB Silver Eagle from $129.95 to $529.95!!!! he said "You wont ever be able to buy them ever again new OR USED!!!" I said well what about Ebay? He replied; "those are not the original D 10s on there, Mine ARE!!!!" I almost fell over laughing!!!!! Needless to say, he never moved those mics and when he went under he ended up taking them home with him, never selling one of them..
