Keep in mind that these prices from New York are WITHOUT monitors.
So, you'll have to add that to the price to come up with a total cost.

As far as I know, these are pretty good prices.  When Atari was running
a special promotion about 6 months ago (which I believe is now over),
participating dealers were selling mono 1040's for $800, and mono Mega 2's
for $1,300.

There aren't many mailorder places selling ST's any more, which makes
things kinda difficult for people who don't have a dealer within 50
miles or so (which, at this point, is just about everybody).
