I agree with that. I just think its lame/unethical/irritating that they 
have the auction at the LOW LOW PRICE of 10$ (or whatever), but charge 
you outrageous handling on almost everything.
I definitely don't disagree that 80$ is a bad price for one (especially 
since I was going to pay 200$ for one a while ago, and still plan to 
when I can scrape up the funds again.)
