Huh?  What gives with their price? It sounds like you're getting 
hosed on two fronts (price, and terms).  According to this link:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO-1
the project's original release price is SUPPOSED to be set at 
US$188 per unit!  

Are -you- buying it from a reseller?  It sounds like someone is trying
to take you for an inflated price, and taking off.
