Boeing has [published on their web site the MSRP](http://www.boeing.com/boeing/commercial/prices/) for their 737s, 747s, 767s, 777s, and 787s, all in various configurations.

> [@](#):
>
> The prices above reflect an average price reflecting a range of available options and configurations for each model. Configurations and options that may affect price include performance capability, interiors, avionics, fuel capacity, etc.All prices are in U.S. dollars and are in millions.

If the economy hasn’t been good to you the past few years, lowball your desires with a brand new 737-700 for only $76 million. Then again, if you managed your investments rather well and you are thinking of moving to a better locale, combine your desires with a 747-8 Freighter at $357.5 million.

Come on! The sky’s the limit.

For the prices they charge, the least Boeing could do is throw in a free treadmill.

Beware. What they don’t mention is that they charge you for the Trucoat, even if you didn’t ask for it.
