Looking back over the years it seems like it was the most vocal boardies who have ultimately ended up being on the wrong side of all these arguments, incl this one.
Having said that it can't be healthy that the three 9.8 copies that sold in 2014 & 2015 went for $1,625, $1,469 & $1,595 and now it's jumped to $4,050 in the space of a year.
When I sold my 9.8 in 2011 (or 2012) it was like pulling teeth before I finally got the $2,500 odd i was looking for. I also remember a huge amount of shilling taking place in the 9.6 auctions for this book at that time before they would sell.
