Now $1100 is a serious price. At the same time, it will just buy you one model up from the bottom at your LBS.
Agreed. I've often seen items far exceed their BIN price if bidding starts on it. Better to pay a bit more than you initially think and hit the BIN than try to win what could be a crazy auction.
