You're right, here is my system:

     Mac II CPU w/Apple Standard Keyboard        5098.00
     Apple Color Hi-Res RGB Monitor               999.00
            Video Card and 8 bit expansion kit    648.00
     Macintosh Internal 800K Floppy Drive         299.00
     Rodime 140 Meg Harddrive			 1500.00?

I got mine about two months ago for $4421.00.  I don't know where this guy is
coming from.  (BTW, my system isn't for sale, only comparison).
