Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They usually go for about $400-ish brand new, retail.

they are on ebay for about 350$, 2010 for 290$. A few weeks back BT had some red shifters for 300$ for the lucky few that got them.

Not very often. It happened about a month ago and they had them for about a week or so popping every once in a while. Haven't seen them since, but a Red crank was up earlier today. It depends on how much they have. I have a feeling that deal is over. You can snag great deals on ebay w/ people selling take-off parts.

Yes, the good stuff goes quickly. I have the app thingy installed in firefox at work. So when I check my gmail, firefox tells me in the lower right what is currently on sale. There's also a popup when a new item is listed.
