[Greenbuilding] Totally turned off by high prices for green products

[Reuben Deumling]

It is a Toto Aquia, and there are two tanks only(!) on Ebay for $89 right
now. Here's a spec sheet--cheapest I found online for the whole toilet is
about $270.

If you're interested in comparing the ability of new toilets to perform, or
how much water they are supposed to use, see the following link:

both the Toto and the Kohler mentioned above are found to perform well.
