Just want to leave another vote for a great experience doing business with Canary - he was very professional in helping me out with an unexpected shipping problem. 
Once I straighten out things on my end, I will be looking at him first for future group buys!

It conceivably could, and it may happen sooner than we think, once we encounter another economic crisis.   

Rather than bitcoin reaching $1,000, though, the number one thing I would like to see is wider adoption.  While 2013 has done much to make more people aware of bitcoin, there are still countless others who see the price increase as a bubble with no underlying value (heck, I was one of them).  Once bitcoin becomes more and more commonly used, even those naysayers cannot deny its place.
