Even the prices on eBay have plummeted from about $1500 to under $1000 in a span of about three days.

As indicated by 7seven, VANOC employees have the option of buying the unused torches for $350. It bugs me that employees got them for "cheap", only for them to turn around and re-sell them for 2x+ the original price!
If VANOC wanted to get the most money for these items to help recover costs, maybe they should have just auctioned them off...
