Part of the problem is that lots of distributors aren't stocking them. Customer wants one, they order one, and pay more for shipping than it would cost if they ordered multiple units. The smaller distributors are probably tacking on $200 to $300 ship costs (to them) before adding their own profit margin.

Yes.  :cheers:

I usually get them closer to the lower of the two numbers...I did pay $4610 for CSI shipped from Nevada and $4970 for 24...picked that one up in Houston and had to pay tax.  :angry:

Is it Stern or the distributor setting the price that high?

FYI  NIB IM and AVATAR were selling for $4000 at expo.
