This guy has a number of links. If you don't speak German, click on the "English Version" link.

Another potential problem: there's a potential world helium shortage looming on the horizon.

Even free, it can be a hard sell, who knows, maybe this will be classified as hazadous material some day ;)

I sure would like to get my ears on those, though.

those speakers have been posted at the very least 4 times this year. Seller has not really budged on his reserve price. Maybe if someone sends him the helium link he will lower his price! :D
