If it wouldn't cost so much to get it back home, I'd come and beat you
up and rob you.

Alas, whenever I manage to find auctions, it is crap going for large
amounts of dough.  And then there is ebay.  Where it amazes me that
people will spend more for an Apex with no warranty (other than maybe
being able to fight the factory about it) than it would cost to order
from walmart.com (let alone going to walmart.brick_and_mortor).
