 He just said that the last one SOLD for $400 + S&H. I don't think there's 
room for telling him "if you can find, in my opinion, anyone who will pay 
$400 ".

 Personally, I don't understand the desire for a NIB Coco and paying that 
much for it. However, collectors are a strange breed. If I had something 
that those collectors might want, I would also, place it on eBay and make a 
buck or two.
 My problem is that I collect things that no one wants. That is how I got it 
to start with!

 I promise everyone that when I have something I don't want to keep, no 
other human would want it..... I think.

 If I had something NIB from thirty years ago, I BETCHA it would sell for a 
good price on eBay.

 Personally, on THIS "NIB" coco, it's already been opened and exposed, 
photographed and handled. So technically, it isn't truly "NIB".
 Cloud-9 has at least two truly "NIB" cocos. I suppose that's a real "NIB" 
coco, if the box hasn't been opened.
