Good price, but the shipping on 28 tons is gonna be a killer.

Why not? Looks like you got a good price. Was the unit bad?

It sounds like you paid around the going rate (which is less that 1/3 of the MSRP!) so you got a good deal surely?

It's not like you got ripped off.

How could you not have gotten a good deal. They sell for the low $200.00 with Tsunami Sound. Shipping is never included even when you buy retail. If they have more at $125.00 I'm in for 2!
