for what it's worth, I bought mine used with the vgs1 in stalled and shipped 
for $800.00.

I have to agree, $900.00 is too high.

qth.com has one right now for $750.00.  Of course that means no vgs1 
installed but considering the vgs1 costs $69.95 kind should clue you in on 
just why $900.00 is too high.
