But I have hear dof them sitting on lots for months too, although I can't imagine why. I know mine sat there a week before I made my move, and I was amazed it wasn't gone before then. Weird. Just not for everyone, but for those of us who love them... and I'm sure there is someone out there who is crazy about them and wanting one like yours real bad.
