1] I am not a sysop 
2] Best price(new) I've seen is $549 and it doesn't include S+H + cable
3] That's my asking price ie: negotiable , best offer, "Err..would you take.."

What is the street price for the USR V.32 with v.32bis?  That modem will
yield a 50% increase in throughput over any V.32..

50% increase in throughput over V.32

   Larry wasn't asking for the msrp, he was asking for the *street price*, or 
what one could reasonably expect to pay at the retail level.  He could 
certainly have looked up USR's price himself, but reports from around the 
country on actual pricing are far more useful for comparison purposes.

   Now, to the point: please try not to post answers that aren't answers to 
the question!
