I'm glad I didn't pay this much for a new Beo4...

When I enquired as to where the seller paid that much for a Beo4, she sent me the following reply:
Somewhere in Sydney. Perhaps 5 or 6 years ago before on line shopping etc things were dearer. We did buy two at the time, maybe that's what the cost was for the two. Memory not so good, I'll blame the alcohol. BBLLLaaaHHH
