actually these auctions (on clink) were kind of weird - I saw several new books listed, two of which had already sold at what I assume was the BIN price - I figured "ok, someone is snagging these books, so I better be snagging too if I want any of them.." so I quickly made offers and accepted the counter-offers. In hindsight, maybe that cost me a few unneccesary dollars.. the fierce competition ended with me. still, happy to get them (I figured I'd go for the 9.6 too, since 9.4s seem commonplace.. warehouse find?)
