OK, I'm intrigued: late March I payed 499 USD for my G5 as listed here:

Lo and behold, the price is now 20 USD higher... Of course, I congratulate myself on my good fortune, but I'm still surprised - is it not unusual that this end-of-the road model suddenly be more expensive? In addition, it has now received Top Seller status. All the G3 owners who are buying that extra meg of resolution while they still can? :-)

I saw the same thing in a camera shop the other day. The G5 was advertised for a higher price than I paid for it 6 months ago. Strange, but good, because resale value will be high. I thought it had something to do with the recent drop in exchange rate of the dollar in my country, but maybe not.
