The people who can pay these prices will now be able to get these

the people on this list are becoming upset. A shorter way of putting it is
that the machine will be sold to the highest bidder, not to the person who
can preserve the machine best.
I disagree, and I'm sure many on the list would agree: you find the
best machines, most often, by searching for sources that aren't
advertising, and that probably aren't even selling. If you're
price sensitive, you'll be happier and wealthier by finding machines
that are ready to be given away.
