I think B&H wants about $2K for the body. I too heard that the N1 was not doing too well. I can't remember where I read that so take it with the appropriate grain of salt.

There is no confusion. The original Contax mount will not have any more lenses developed for it, but they will continue to sell existing design lenses, and the new Contax autofocus mount is having new lenses designed and the have more coming out as we speak. The film cameras are not abandoned at all, the NX and N are easily available, and superb cameras, as is the Aria and the new RX II (which was just announced). You can still buy an RTS III new I believe.
