I paid less than $100 for it. But if it were destroyed in a flood or whatever, I think I might be willing to pay that much for one like it. It is the most perfect toaster I have ever used. If a perfect being made a toaster, it would be very similar to the one I have. Yes, it seems crazy expensive for a toaster, but it is a really great toaster. This is one of those cases where it is expensive for the kind of thing it is, but it is not money for nothing. It is a pleasure to use, and it makes great toast.
