Same here in Michigan.

Grays will keep dropping prices and ADs will have to move further down their waiting lists, but as long as they have SOMEONE on the list who will buy at MSRP, they won't put them on display. From the outside, it will appear as if the market is completely unchanged at the AD shelves. Joe sixpack with a windfall will still walk into his AD and find nothing available.

Once gray/used prices on SS models fall below retail, AD shelves will start to populate. Then the game will be up, at least for awhile.

After the recession, people will forget these times. Grays will again corner the market and drive up prices, and we'll be right back to the bad old days again.
