[conspire] 1999 called, and wants its backhoe returned

Searching around for third-party information on pricing (since the
Sola/HeviDuty site says only 'Request quote' about pricing) suggests
that, for example, the 1000 'VA' (basically watt) model would cost on
the order of $1700-2425 per unit.  That model weighs 59 lb, by the way.

Oh, for those who aren't getting ye olde Subject header's gag:
