crpoc,
that is probably the best price I have seen on a Kalamazoo.
It has been a little while since I bought my KG, but I swear I paid $199 for it. I bought it local and Production Tool Supply. There was one near where I worked and I didn't have to pay shipping. I am not sure how much shipping is on them, but it can't be tool cheap.
Long way of saying, you might want to look in to the more "commercial" tool supply companies (like Production Tool).
