Re: (erielack) New Atlas C-425 in EL

["Bill K." <pontiac_@_dreamscape.com>]

$100 list means they will sell on average for about $75, which is what a
used one goes for on eBay depending on roadname.   Which also means that it
may be possible to buy them for close to dealer cost about 3 weeks after
they come out and no one cares anymore...    around 50-60% of the list.

It could be worse, what did they want for those B40-8's?  Didn't they all
come with a decoder, so you were SOL if you're too cheap to run DCC?  Seems
like they retailed for a bunch over $100.

I'm tempted to dig up some old MR's and see what the list was for the last
round, 10 years ago, to compare...
