Well - the SUPERSONIC for $1000 starting price id be giving a miss.
Problem with Ebay these days is that it seems to have gone from an auction site for pins to a site where the seller is convinced they will squeeze top $$ for the machine and so set the starting price at where they hope it may finish.

I always start mine at $500 if i sell on there. Can honestly say i dont have to now though - i dont have enough pins to sell to cover the enquiries ive got on them
