it's sticky.. i got mine in the box.. unopened from someone lucky enough to buy too. I got it at the price he paid. Really he acted as an enabler for me to get one since my number was high. I really enjoy my unit and I have gotten a lot of use out of it. I want to get a Mark 2 unit obviously. I have to now just hope that the person wants to pass the Mark 2 discount / place in queue to me , rather than pass it to another indiviual. I think the guy is fair , but the EMPEG is HOT , and i might get thrown out of the loop.
