What about the styli offered at Small Dog? Are they the original stlyi?
 He's got them for $19.95.

Here's something I'm wondering about:

If the Newton styli is available for $19.95 from Small Dog, and Ferdi
wants $40 for the one he's auctioning on ebay, what makes his special
and different? He's advertising it as Titanium and that it came with
the newton MP2000-2100.

If this styli were available, and not a rare commodity, as Ferdi claims,
would this not be motivation enough to remove it from the auction since
it's obviously a mistake by the seller in not knowing what is available
and what is not? Why would someone knowingly charge $40 for something
when it can be obtained easily for half the price?

Can anyone comment on this? Am I off-base here? What am I missing?

Mark
