Default Big news out of Japan

http://www.boingboing.net/2006/02/22...n_resale_.html


Japan has recently banned the sale of used electronics over 5 years old. The theory from a lot of insiders is obviously that Japan will sell any old or malfunctioning peice of studio gear to the west, flooding the market with vintage gear, bringing down the price of this expensive equipment. Just a theory, cross your fingers.
