   The reason I'm reluctant to go by eBay prices is that these would be so   
   dang hard (and expen$ive) to ship. I'm thinking more along the lines of   
   Craigslist, or of holding on to them for a while and finding a collector   
   willing to pay more.

   Yes, I know that; it's just that they'd probably sound better off the   
   floor, as unwieldy as that might be. Maybe on short platforms?
