Why is the price on this rising faster than anyone can place an order?

I would like to know this answer too. This exact vest was $11 on Amazon 2 days ago

Not sure if this is why, but the company filed for bankruptcy in early 2014 and now supplies are limited so the price will likely increase.

I was about to order, but then saw the price increase. I've felt like I was watching commodity trading on the pricing the last couple of weeks. Just a guess on my part, but perhaps they are starting to receive units with the new 2009 maps, and that is the reason for the uptick in price? Again, merely an uneducated guess on my part. I'm looking at pcrush(d0tc0m) to order at $235 now.

Hello, Increases in price are due to an increase from the manufacturer. Do you have the order number from the last time you ordered this product from us, so I can see what the cost was then.Thanks,Mark at Peters Select

Vendors change their prices from time to time. These changes might have to do with competition or that they got some special and decided to make it a special offering. In any case it was not on our store that this occurred as we have not sold this item. Hopefully this helps. Best of luck to you.

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

I have noticed that when many online companies get very low on stock, a ridiculous price point kicks in until the new supply arrives, to avoid going out of stock completely. I've seen a package of ballpoint pens for $99 and so on, so that's probably what is happening here. Shop around. Let there be no doubt however that this product, at this strength, is not inexpensive. $130 would not be unreasonable.

No this is not different from the ones you find on other websites. Sellers just try to push the price up in order to make money because some people on here don't look around for the price on other website, and some people just buy it because they don't care but this is why the prices tend to be high.

Sometimes new shipments may have price increases . I work in retail and see this often. Again, it can be some thing entire my different.It is comfortable

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

Theresa: You might have placed your order from a 3rd-party Marketplace Seller, not AmazonCom LLC. Sellers set their own prices. Some pricing is based on the PT Barnum Principle vs Caveat Emptor. Cheers!

Happens with many other items. It's a free market, after all. No sane person would buy at those prices, so who cares!

No, they know its out of stock and hard to get right now, so they increased the price extremely! Ridiculous

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

I do not know. This is not the price I paid when I placed my last order. I recently saw this price and thought it was way too high.

It's probably an automated listing. The same thing happens on eBay when the seller has low stock, the item price is calculated based on availability.

Based on a the fact that when this product was sold at retail outlets here in the US the average price was 2.75 a can I can live with the 2.00 price increase. Just make the product readily available without all the delays. Maybe offer a discount for those that buy in bulk?
