<div dir="ltr">You're right, they are over $500...around $700-$800. We bought one a year or two ago for about that so I figured they were cheaper now. The one vendor selling it for less I have bought from before, actually.<br>

You got me pretty interested, so I checked froogle as well. The low<br>
