I can't believe this has gotten as high as it has on eBay:

You can get one directly from SpaceX for half the price!

I contacted a guy listing one as out of production at an absorbent price a while back. Sent him the link of where you could by one. Would be nice if they would release the Heavy.

"exorbitant" price perhaps?? Or do you mean it could absorb lots of liquid, rather than being excessive??
