There is a clear Newell on that place where you bid for things on the internet.The top bid is $1000.00 and the reserve is not met.Just thought this was pretty interesting.Wow!!!

Yup...I've also got one so I emailed this seller about his since I was interested in what his eventual selling price would be. Allegedly, he's sold several other clear 220's on that site and this is his last one. In retrospect, I should have purchased a couple more also! :'(  The highest I've seen one sell for is $800. :o

I've been told (don't know if it's true ???) that only 50 of these clear 220's were made. I bought mine when they first hit the stores since I was hoping it would become a collectors item, sell it at a good profit and save for a nice multi-day trip. Supply and demand... :o
