US Roasting Corps 5k Roasters starts at $13,495.00 new. The options are all truly options in that the base price gets you everything you need to roast. The options are custom paint jobs, brushed stainless this or that, computerized profiling systems, etc. They make great roasters, every piece is made in the USA and I can tell you that Dean C. Oldham is very fast at responding to initial emails anyway. I have no experience in buying roasters from them, so I cannot speak to post purchase follow-up. I have an email from them in regard to their 5k roaster pricing as of Jan 2011. If you would like me to email it to you with the info sheet they included just send me a PM.
