I may have rounded things off a bit, but at least one Contura went
unsold on ebay for a good price, with it's reserve I understood to be
about 5K.  So it may have actually sold for 3~4K as most others
reported to have been.  The RBT in mind was a base version X4 model
which is relatively thrifty compared to the others.  Maybe just
"higher than an RBT" price may have been more accurate for me to
have said, but still had the same impact to the point I was
making.  I get carried away once in a while (NO!  Really? ... :-).
