Somebody finds a box of mugs. If 3 more of those sets got posted in a row, yes, the price would be down to $300 before the smoke cleared. There's always that unknown variable of "how many are out there" - thats where your intuition has to come in. Sometimes you can get hosed- you buy as if its the only one available to find out there's more from the seller. But even if that happened with the above sets, those that still paid what they could to grab one would be glad they did after that initial (small no doubt) burst of supply is exhausted.. sometimes you have to buy in the FACE of supply because you know the supply wont last.
