Okay, I might try calling this guy. I may also email a few vendors and ask for a group price and see what they say.

Justin, have you talked to progressive or do you want me to contact them?

there is a brand new one for 350 shipped on RC

Yeah it looks like I have found one on RC too. 3 months old with receipt and about HALF of the new cost. Looks like I will pass on the group buy unless this doesn't go through. Can't turn down this kind of savings!
