Hey btb, our son's nearly 11 weeks old now, and he's sleeping 6-10 1/2  hours at night; recently it's been 9-10 1/2 and that's mostly because we're swaddling him.  You might give it a try....

Thanks Gro. . . but I have become a swaddling expert.  The kid is wrapped like a mini-burrito.  

She's been giving us a hard time since she turned breach a month before delivery (makes me wonder about my internet identity. . .)

First of all, Hi to everyone, I'm new to the forum.

I was reading this thread and wondering if all "defects" actually decrease the value of an item...

I have a Tsojconth that I purchased several years ago in a used bookstore, and I had no idea what I was buying at the time.  Apparently neither did the seller -- it has a light pencil mark on the front indicating the price of $1.95 (Canadian!).  Otherwise it's in excellent to near mint condition (I think).  It doesn't have the ziploc bag, and it has tiny dog-ears on the corners.

Technically the pencil mark is a defect, but it's so darn humorous to me that I'm sure it's got to add value... :lol:

Usually, writing decreases value, even if it is a price mark.

After reading all the replies here, I think I'm going to go with bbarsh.  
My thinking is thus.  If I received a three-hole punched Tsojconth would I be satisfied with it, or would I still be on the lookout for a better one?  And the answer is the latter.  I would still have it on my want list, so what use is it to have a version that is so defective that I wouldn't be satisfied with it?  As bbarsh said, it might as well have been torn in half.  
An old price sticker I could live with.  A stray pencil mark or a lightly written price in pencil, I could live with.  But a three-hole punch means a part of the module is missing and that I just couldn't abide.  
Oh well, thanks for everyone's input.   :D

Kind of like a Lamborghini with a huge keymark in the side.
