Being the first on your block to own something costs a pretty penny. A friend of mine paid $4000 for one of those newfangled CD players when they first came out... only played one at a time, but it sure sounded good. And I recall being at a dealership when the SSTs came out... dude was telling me that they are selling like hotcakes, marked up 50K over invoice, because everybody with a fat bank account wanted to be the first on the block to be seen in one.
