I don't really mind them at all. I finally was able to order my in-stock x6800 today. (Yes, the egg ripped me off, but whatever.) For me, it has been helpful to see which sites are popping up - for instance, when I saw the clubIT thread, I almost bought from them. (I opted not to since I had never heard of them before, and the x6800 is more money than I care to chance.) It turned out well, as the egg had them in stock (allbeit overpriced) about two hours later.
I guess I'm just trying to say I don't mind, but it would be nice if people would tag them as [INSTOCK] or something in the subject line so that those who don't care could easily ignore them.
Also, to the OP: It's more like whack-a-mole than a jack-in-the-box.
