I don't think you would have much luck with that since the MMR SE is going to be sold at 8k with unlimited numbers. The only difference bieng shaker and trim. Not much incentive to pay over MSRP.

I'm thinking someone willing to wait for a year or so, is going to benefit from getting a deal on HOU here. For me in this case at least, I can't wait, I've been patient for a while now having not purchased a pin in a year and half and never a NIB, so I'm going to splurge here and expect that this pin will be in my home for many years to come. In fact it’s quite possible that it will end up being the last pin to leave.

There is the real possibility that PPS raises their prices on future runs as well. Why not? JJP and Stern does it when the make additional runs. I think JJP does it in $500 increments? If that ended up being the case, the equation would change for HOU.

That's funny, I havent heard someone called that in a long time. Good one.
