since fair market value is defined as:

"The price that an interested but not desperate buyer would be willing to pay and an interested but not desperate seller would be willing to accept on the open market assuming a reasonable period of time for an agreement to arise. "

I feel that the comment has merrit but not really fair... as much as I dont like overpriced items selling on TV, they are not forcing anyone to buy the products....
