Oh I agree- my expressed anger above is really just internet-anger, I'm not writing letters to my senator or anything and if it weren't for the screen, I wouldn't have gotten such a killer deal as I got on my 4800. I don't think eBay is particularly representative of the DM market though as it's limited strictly to folks who are willing and able to list on eBay- I'd wager that the majority of DM owners don't regularly deal with freight shipping, for one, and then you have to factor in the financial cut eBay and Paypal take- ~$100 in fees on an $800 transaction. I've found that if you're willing to take a road trip with a van or truck, person-to-person contact via Craigslist (or sometimes even via eBay, but outside of eBay) is the best way to go- I've purchased several very nice analog boards for live sound this route, all for significantly less than I'd have spent on eBay... of course, that's through the east coast and midwest, I don't know what the markets are like out west.
