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!

Maybe they ship it with a free tank of gas?

That would explain a slightly higher than normal price.

Its got to be a mistake! I can buy a top of the line fancy moter home for that price! They must have accidently added another zero or something. I have never seen even those mowers anywhere around that price. I think the most expensive one of those I saw was for 20,000

I wonder if that's out the door or if they'll still put tax and dealer prep charges on top??

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!"
