I think that non-show prices are great prices, actually! I was just looking at Jamie Glass' blog where he posted pictures and prices from Daytona just 3 years ago. Those of you newer to this hobby don't have the benefit of of a frame of reference for seeing just how much of a "bargain" these animals are priced at today. It's another reason many of us hate these "how cheap can I get one" type threads, when we think they're already pretty awesomely priced in comparison.
Jamie, if you read this - you should post some of those pictures!
