Heck Tim I didn't mention any weights. It could also be 100 grams x 7 =
$700. You going to sell it for that at a profit after planes and hotels
etc.? If you reread my message you will see that one of the important
factors I mentioned is how MUCH you get is a key factor in the price. I
haven't heard of anybody yet that has 3kg for sale.

I am not in Chicago and have no plans of going. As a collector I am bummed
because I was hoping for a 1-2 kg piece and that is not going to happen.
Maybe next time prices won't get so out of wack, but I won't hold my breath.
