[time-nuts] Thunderbolt?

Hi

From what I can see the basic TBolt is still selling as a buy it now item for roughly $120 to $130 delivered the US. Sometimes you get the power splitter with it (for a couple of bucks) / sometimes not. That's the same price they were 18 months ago. Indeed the guys who had them cheap a year or more ago are higher priced than that. There are others who now are the low price guys. You can still assemble a "kit" including the basic TBolt for under $200. What is indeed missing right now are the non-buy it now auctions. 

In general there aren't quite as many auctions up for them at the moment. I'd blame the New Years hollidays (world wide) for that. 

Bob
