My kids left it out in the garage, and the mice like it so much they filled it up with bird seed! It still sounds great and makes its own sound as you shake it in time to the beat!

Maybe its not quite dead...(I'm getting better!)

Had they been a bit more reasonable on the pricing, it probably would have sold very well. $350 is a buttload of cash for an amplifier and a few speakers. Note that this is not an Apple-specific issue -- I don't (and won't) own a Bose or any other $300+ iPod dock. For $199, I would have bought the HiFi without thinking. IMO, $50 for "cheap" dock, $100 for mid-quality and $200 for high quality is the divisions I expect. $300+ is absurd. I also heard it sounded very nice and was built like a tank.
