My father has been checking into the 1000-->2000HD trade-in, which is
set at $1599.  First thing he found was that it could be had for
$1579 (the place is Briwall, in PA).  Next he discovered that he
could keep his 1000 cpu and only trade in the keyboard.  He has some
leads on replacement keyboards, so obviously he could then sell the
1000 or pass it on to my sister.  Lastly, he checks back with the local
dealers who at first were locked on the full price and insisted that
they needed the cpu plus keyboard, and they match the offer without
flinching.

Moral: don't give away your money or your cpu if you don't have to.
