made a quick trip to eBay to see what the new Sony stations are going for, with 4 minutes left, it looks like the current bid for one is 33,100. This, is nuts.

The seller will never collect.
Well, I test the link and now it is down to 7,000. Someone must have withdrew a silly bid.
Nay - this is capitalism.
Supply and demand and all that...
Spoof bidding. Some hacker in Central Asia bid it up.
Will save to show my son--he was 'in line' at Target and now off to Toys R Us.
A fool and his money is soon departed.
Folks pay $5,000 for a cell phone, so why not?
Sean 'shreik' Hannity started his radio show yesterday asking anyone in line to sell him one.
Was the bidder named GoldenPalace.net?
THey must have canceled it. the current bid on that link is "only" $7600 with 36 bids.
The lack of brain matter in the individual bidding on this is very apparent.
I just bought a $500 electric guitar for my 13-year-old son. Much better investment.
Heh, heh. The seller probably rejected the bigger bid, thinking that he might actually collect on the smaller bid.
Dream on.
I guarantee he is out of luck, he can get a Nintendo Wii if hes lucky on Sunday though.
I see winning bid of $9,101.
(Which is still plenty silly for a $600 item.)
Wait 6 months, they'll be selling for ~$200
I think it was a staffer for John Edwards.
