There should be a review (or at least extended impression) coming of the exemplar 2900 + BHSE + O2 from the DC meet on Aug 2.
That source, if you don't like it, should be easy to resell.
Don't sweat the small stuff, it's music, enjoy it.
Lots of things are expensive just to be exclusive. Some people like paying for exclusivity. Who's to say they're wrong to do so, if it makes them happy?
It's all a matter of scale. If you don't like the price, don't pay it. If a buyer and seller come to an arrangement, and it's more than you'd pay, that doesn't make the seller a con artist.
