By the end of this week, our web site will be changed to reflect the
correct pricing for our ROMS (Miscommunication is blamed for this, our
apologies).   The person you spoke to hear, normally deals with dealers
only, so she was not aware that we do sale ROMS at discount to end
users. ALl other products, other than ones you can find on our Bargain
Page are sold through our dealers.

Please try our direct sales group again, or better yet, e-mail me your
phone number privately and I will give you a call and take your order personally.
