I bought my current analog set about 4 years ago, for substantially
less, and when the last analog sets were still readily available, they
were listing at prices similar to what I'd paid -- of course that's
before discounting. But there wasn't a lot of that around here because
most consumers had no idea and would buy analog anyway because it cost
less.
