Thanks for the post..............Years ago Manheim and other auctions would send out through the mail the weekly market reports....Several years ago , making like easier you could go to www.manheim.com. and see the market reports on line....I can still do that, but dealeras have a password to get deep into the site...........I used to drag around my LT to view the wholesale prices of cars....

About 3-4 years ago  i bought a HP pocket PC/PDA.....I now call it my /the brain as it lists all Manheim auctions /approx 80 in the USA...... I never leave home woithout it.............For my old relic it must be updated through the USB port............Last year Manheim was selling the wirless Dell PDA'S...........

I am very aware of Socket for two reasons..................First of all they/Manheim/ sell the product you are talking about at the auction....I believe the whole package is around $1,000 ............The great thing about the PDA/ Socket adapter is that it is a scanner..........All you have to do is scan the vin # of the car and presto your PDA goes right to the make and model......No confusion about the model as the vin # never lies...........Very easy...........No scrolling through the PDA to look your model up to get a price...........Just take into consideration the condition of the car and the options/milage..........If i bought /updated my relic it would make my life easier. 

Second reason i know about Socket...................Socket is a stock i owned at the same time i owned EDIG..............You remember MIR..............Socket was selling for about a buck/i bought..........She said hold on to it.............It jumped to 3 bucks or so and i sold............From there it took off............I said , never again will i sell  before it's time...............So now i sold EDIG last spring and luckly i still have PTSC...........IF/WHEN PTSC jumps to that higher Socket price i will let another have my shares...........Thanks again for the post.......
