Two points, two responses. First, what is this mysterious Federal Law? Do you have a citation for it? I am uncertain how it would apply and when, but I will cheerfully research it if you will advise me of its precise citation so I can find it. Second, the price of the Hypergon is determined by McKeown's Law. Nishizawa was looking for one some years back but couldn't find one at any price. A year later, they were selling for $50 or so. It simply depends on supply and demand. $150 for a "new" one might be reasonable, if there isn't any demand at all for one. (And those who believe Rare Collectables are worth a lot should look at the EXTREMELY disappointing results from the last four or five international auctions: kiddies, the market is DEAD right now.)
