Hi Laurie

Nearly as rare as your Vintage-Collectible-Rare-Mint-InBox-WithManual-Hip-Vibe-MegaCool DD-7

Did I forget anything?

It's interesting to search Ebay for the word 'rare' and see what pops up.
Seems like the word has lost its meaning.

Ditto,
I almost understand the CE-3 being labeled as such, being out of production gives 1/2 an ounce of validity to that. Last time I checked, the DS-2 was still in production. Listings like this usually receive an overly rude and curt email from me via "ask seller a question". God knows I'm so softly spoken.
Anything to pull the sale and make a buck. AND some idiot will buy it under that assumptive phrasing.
Just remember, no matter how stupid people on E-bay can be... they don't even slightly resemble the shallow end of the gene pool we call Craig's List.

I cannot recall a more lucidly true comment. Sometimes, I don't think
they even make it to the kiddie pool.
