We are witnessing a paradigm shift in the Cobra market, like it or not. Most won't like it (especially all who already own one), but those who assign a premium to aluminum bodies will benefit. Those in the aluminum body business will benefit. I think I know how this will play out, and I congratulate the Kirkhams for taking the risk, which I view as a smart one. The one's who are benefiting in the short term are those smart enough to jump on these early EBay deals as they may be grabbing them at some really good prices. Ultimately, prices should rationalize into "market value". And in this economy, I don't see many people paying premiums just to pay for a name, Shelby excluded of course
