oh. well, rest easy my friend. i didn't pay that much. that was just retail price. since i worked at the store, and the price dropped in the computer, i got them at cost for 465.00 back in those days. so i'd say i scored there too. i tend to always find good deals, such as my new M60Ti's...i'm a cheap ass you see
