I picked up mine for just under $600. This included the rubber pad and a 12" extension for the handle (not installed yet), which are normally not included. The price also included shipping as well as in-state sales tax (shipper was on the other side of the state). I think I bought it at a time when the EUR to USD rate was pretty good and now it's spiked back up again. The unit is imported from Denmark. Honestly if I had a bigger garage I would've just spent a little more on a full lift.
I originally purchased an Omega knockoff from Amazon. The company was called Advanced Tool Design. It was $250 with free shipping. When it arrived the box was pulverized, the oil breather plug was installed prior to shipping (rather than the actual plug) so everything was covered in oil, and the unit didn't sit level on my garage floor. It worked, but I didn't have confidence in it over the long haul so I sent it back. I'm sure a real Omega would've faired better.
