No, anything in that price range (i.e. enough to make it worthwhile, but
not so large that someone will be extra nervous and make sure all i's are
dotted and t's are crossed).   Happens a lot with pinballs (and it seems
they use the same pictures over and over again).  Just click on "See
seller's other items" to see what else gets dangled as bait:  Plasma
TV's is another popular item.
