Good question and good thread. For those interested, they are selling the orginal BK for $250 + shipping. Even though I didn't need a 2nd one today...I will next Fall, when I build a platform (for seating).
That's really odd. I just e-mailed them yesterday asking about the special pricing and was told that the price was $300, "less if you order 2 or more."
I must have caught them before they established a price or got someone not in the know. I called shortly after they posted about the potential liquidation of the orginal. I guess I should buy a lottery ticket too.
