Worth the price?
Original Message Apr 5, 2005 12:52 pm

I realize Toro makes a good product, I have two of them but this one's a little too rich for my blood...

Maybe it's because of the free shipping!

Perhaps Terminator 20 is right and they somehow managed to tack on an extra "zero." The "real" price would then be $62,950. A real bargain!!

Or...

It could be like the buy on the street selling apples for $10,000 each. When asked how many apples he expects to sell at that price, he replies "I only have to sell one!"

Well Alamia delivered today and I test drove my Toro, and apparently people are telling me by doing so I depreciated the machine by $627,000. Oh that just chaps my hide, how much of a hit ya take once ya drive them off the lot!! Anyways, I gotta go run my paper rout to help pay for this thing.
