This is very strange:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000BGQT2G/ref=dp_olp_1/103-4618873-3364603?ie=UTF8

Two vendors on Amazon.com claim to have used copies of "Best of Request - Vol. 2" for sale.  And for about $40 a piece.  You can tell this is absolute BS because the distribution for the 2nd CD has been extremely limited.  I didn't sell very many (most to family and friends at first, then a couple to fans) and I never even sent any to Amazon.com to sell, although I was planning on it at one point.

One of the same vendors claims to have a used copy of Vol. 1, again same price:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0009N31EA/ref=dp_olp_1/102-1054089-2224956?ie=UTF8

Which is actually possible, but still unlikely.

So it leaves us with two options: these vendors are absolute crooks, or they just claim to have every CD ever made indiscriminately just to save them time and snag customers.  I wonder what would happen if you actually tried to order one of them?  I suspect that if it's case number two, they'd get back to you and say they didn't have it in stock.  In the case of #1, you'd either get nothing or some weird bootleg pirate copy, which would actually be fun to see.

Anyway, thought I'd share it because it's funky.

This now leaves you in the position of being able to create "new" copies and sell them for $50. If you have "new in box" equipment, people go crazy. Shoot for the moon!
