Not sure where it came from but it is new in box and a buddy of mine just hit me up about one of his clients selling an un-open Panasonic PTD-5700U for 2k. I just checked retail on this projector and its msrp is listed at $11,499.00
It also appears that this is a 4:3 unit according to my distys site. I do not sell Panny projectors but thought I'd put it out there if anyone is interested.

PM me if you want it and I will put you in contact with the seller and verify the contents for you before you purchase it. It sounds like a great deal for someone selling Panny products.
