Well, I got a good deal today.  Multitech, a Canadian warehouse-type 
electronic store, had an ad in the morning paper, for clearing out of various
stock.

At the top of the ad was a Lynx II with Batman Returns for *33* dollars (CDN).
New, in the box, now Comlynx or power supply.
All their cartridges (they only had 6 games) were $20.

Between me and a friend, we bought three lynxes and cleaned that store out of
cartridges.

So, a good deal for me, but there's another (small scale) Lynx retailer
bailing out.  They had carried the Lynx for a couple of years, but never
had a very good game selection, and they were $50. 

(BTW, the salesguy told me their cost was $104 on those.  It came up on the
 computer as he was ringing the sale through.  Now THAT'S a loss leader! )
