Weierwei VEV-789 and VEV-889: Pricing

I got an e-mail back from the folks at Weierwei Radios with pricing for single units of the VEV-789 and VEV-889.

VEV-789VHF and 898UHF = $163

Also, the VEV-768 is $146. I just noticed the model on the site is actually listed as a VEV-768+. I don't know if that changed or I missed it.
