I can remember back when jackalopes were selling the "rare and prime" steppings of the 165 for $400+ dollars. I wonder how all those people who shoveled out that cash feel now:cry:

I did that on one of my dozen or so... I broke even just about... with the amount I spent and the losses I took on the bad steppings, I made just about the same back by selling the GEM (only profited on one of them back when this was the hot stuff... sold the other GEM for a big loss 5-6 weeks ago... b/c they aren't worth much now anyway)
