#1 ... There's a wonderful 'Wizard of Id' cartoon from the era of $6K toilet seats that captures the proper response for this sort of thing - when faced with a guy who charged thousands for a simple hand tool, the king says, "Let HIM go - bring me the guy who wrote the check."

#2 It's not the toilet seat, it's the testing. Spectroscopic color check, CAT scan every hundredth for void, etc.

In this case $2,250 might not be bad for the pucker run.
