Topic: Hang Price Bubble-Burst?

Has the over-inflated price of the hang bubble finally burst?  There have been two hangs selling for $5000-$8000 on eBay within the last month or so.  I think there are two hangs still available for $6500-$8000.  In whatever currency one uses, US dollars, Euros or pounds, that is still a heck of a lot of money for a drum that originally sold for about 1/10th that amount.  Has the frenzy subsided?  There are probably many to still would love to have one, are attracted by the tones and the uniqueness of the design, but very likely cannot afford and wouldn't pay such a price.  In my world, $5000-8000 buys a considerable amount:  One year's rent with utilities, probably food (eating reasonably), an automobile, several high quality bicycles, many other beautiful musical instruments, sport equipment, clothes for many years wearing, and even an exotic vacation/holiday or two.  There are two new drums being produced for next year, the Bell Art and the Halo drum, that look and sound (in my opinion) every bit as beautiful, mystical and ethereal as the Hang, and will be selling for about $1500 (my understanding).  I wonder what that will do to the inflated Hang prices in 2010? 
Just wondering....

Thumbs up Thumbs down
