Hi--

I think you will find that these are not real...
For anything under $2550-2650, I suspect one or more
of the following
- VERY high shipping charges
- hard-sell for accessories and packages with
vastly over-priced items
-"bait and switch", where either the VX-2000 is
"not in stock", but we have the "wonderful Xyz",
or "the VX-2000 isn't very good, and we
have the "wonderful Xyz" for even less...
- accessories that are normally supplied are
"extra cost"...
- "oh, that was for the Japanese model, but the
US import model (with English menus) is more..."
Real, shipped price of a VX-2000, US import, with
all original accessories, is about $2550 minimum,
and usually somewhat more.
