Whoa- hold on a minute. I have not seen advertised, nor have I heard
from the local dealers that I have talked to, a price of less than 
$2000 for a new in the box Toaster.  I've seen adds for reconditioned
Toasters for $1799. I think the list for a new Toaster is $2500 - That's
the number I heard on NewTek's Toaster Demo Tape.
