Helicopter YouTube Madness

I was sent a link to a CNN/Money story which features the helicopter I bought a month ago. My suspicions were confirmed:

By October, YouTube-fueled demand allowed many retailers to sell the Picco Z for more than its $30 suggested retail price. RadioShack raised its price to $40; some online stores were asking $99.

I distinctly remembered seeing the lower price before they mysteriously “sold out”. When they were available again, it was $40. Damn YouTube.
