WOW! All I can say is i'm glad I bought mine when I did..I paid literally half that for mine and wouldn't sell mine even for that much. Is part of my love for it the hype? Of course...and it makes me feel better about my purchase when I see others paying so much for it...lol. Would I pay that much? Heck no! But it really is probably my best shaver, maybe just because of the mental state it puts me in
