All the above.

A friend's wife has a nice chocolate fountain, but she's a
professional caterer and chocolatier. Even then, I've yet to actually
see it in action. Yet, go to any large dept store and there's usually
2 or 3 models/brands for sale. Like you say, the next big garage sale
item. Wait for this summer.
