I agree with "beachnut".....I would have done the same. I was already realy saddened by the news of his death, but now I can't even get the models that I want also.? I was just waiting to see what or who would get the proceeds before I made my purchase. Hopefully, we did not lose our "chance" and something will be worked out and we can still get them when we can. I really and truly Hope so. (:
