Actually I have plans on getting one for next season. The thought of 779 scared me though.

Way to much. Guess it all depends on who you know. 
VS200= $520
VS250= $560
VS275= $598
VS300= $607 |
Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

Pure guess not including overhead- somewhere around $150 assuming they do their own machining.
Another pure guess - management is looking for the ceiling of what people will pay. Zee Baas, Saltiga, Accurate must have the big wigs thinking whether or not they can get more.
Luxury items also sometimes have an upward sloping demand curve, meaning people buy more as the cost increases.

Based on one guy's experience with the Accurate, they should be slashing the price on that one 
3 handle bushings in 2 years?? For 900 beans??? WTF?? 
Maybe he got a lemon, but he's the only Accurate user I ever met. |

Yup... I really wanted one too... I just can't spend that kind of money at the moment on it.
If anyone has a 150 with a bail that wants to sell after christmas, let me know!
