MrNumbers:
Disagree.
Marigold could (barely) afford it, and makes good money from home with pretty minimal cost-of-living and transportation. She doesn't even have a car expenditure.
I'd put it at $5,000 minimum with a body like that probably going for closer to the $20K area.
Think about it; It's basically all the size and moving parts of a motorbike, with all the core internals of a high-end computer running the AI.

This.
A robotic hand repair was 250. After discount and all. so just the hand had to be a couple grand.
I'm with Mr numbers on the cost. The deluxe boy is close to 20k.
shanejayell:
One wonders if there are subsidies & such for body upgrades from Hannelore's dad or the government.
Do AIs have a intrinsic 'right' to improved bodies & such?
Is it cold in here?:
May couldn't even get repairs on a government-issued body. If there is such a right it's being violated all the time.
Wasn't the chassis that Momo asked for at first listed at $30K?

If I had an cephaloform anthroPC like Reggie, I'd let him perch on top of my head and wear him like a hat, Maybe get some form of transcranial nerve-conduction MMI for him so we could communicate to one another silently. And try not to think about the origin of the word cephalopod as meaning stomach-foot, how those lifeforms ate their food.
