R-D1 original price tag?

What did the R-D1 sell for when it was introduced? (And what year was that?)

What was it selling for when they stopped making them? (And again - what year?)

Wikipedia thinks it was announced in 2004:

As an additional data point, I paid $2100 (US dollars) for mine (imported from Robert White in the UK) in 2006.
