Yeah, but that's because you're buying from real people. If Wal Mart would commission a billion of them, we could get them for a buck, the makers (in Indonesia) would get nothing and the Mart bros. would get all the money. This way, you get something unique, and the people who made it get paid. Of course Wal Mart is never going to carry it to begin with (how many of us are there, anyway?). It's up to you of course, but I buy stuff at twice the Wal Mart price all the time, just so I can get them from somebody downtown instead of at the supercenter. Yep, the perfect Vanagon: one of these on the front, FSM on the back, wave at everybody as they pass. :) Matt
