I doubt you could get one for $125 in the Huntsville/ Madison area. I'm guessing $150 +/- 10 . A large high end , custom, built by a high end builder in the Scottsboro area is around 200 per.

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
