If you had kept a couple of copies, it could be interesting to try it on
ebay, but I'm sure you'd want to be sure to keep a copy for yourself or pass
on.  A better bet might be contacting someone like Sanders.  However, just
because he is asking $800 doesn't mean he is getting it. (although WE know
it would be worth every penny)
