I totally hate websites that are set up for sales but don't show you the
price until you start the checkout process. It's a horrible business
practice.
This doesn't appear to be one of those situations, though. As far as I
know, the RigExpert products were designed in Russia and are sold
worldwide through various distributions arms. I'm sure the pricing
arrangements are different in each case, but if you simply click on the
"How to Buy" button at the lower left of the URL quoted in the original
posting it will guide you to a U.S.A. dealer who quite clearly displays
the pricing ($475).

I have no relationship, personal or commercial, with any of these parties.
