Hi - Why did the price more than double on the 116 quart ones?

Hi Jane! Sometimes a third seller on here will place an item at a higher cost if amazon or a "fullfiled" by Amazon 2nd party is not available. This is economically cause of supply and demand of the item in question, for ex: if there is low supply a seller may up the price depending on the expected demanded volume for incoming orders. Other reasons include that there is no other sellers offering a lower price point competitively. I hope this helps :)

I think I paid the lower price, a really good deal. Don't know if I'd pay the new price=glad I got it when I did.

If there is a Cost Plus World Market in your area, you can buy them for $6.99. I have no idea why the prices are so high here.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

On my screen, the $59 option shows it's for a 24 pack of 6-quart bins. Since I ordered the $28 option and therefore know for sure you'll receive 12 bins, I recommend going with that option, if interested in this item. Even if what you want is 24 bins, ordering 2 of the 12 is still your best bet. It will come to $57.56 versus the $59 for the 24 pack. Also, if you're debating ordering these bins, I do recommend them. I purchased them about 4 months ago to store my scarves, which in this weather means I open & close them often. They're still latching w/o issue. I'm glad I purchased them!

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

yes, the price went up 2x. it's still available on walmart.com for half the price though

Because they are currently so hard to come by. I think a lot of the ones listed so high are trying to capitalize on a supply and demand thing. In my case, I had purchased it for this amount from an amazon seller last fall, but ended up with two come the holidays.

does anyone have any ideas as to why the price on this set has gone up approx. $400 over the last couple of weeks?

They are the same thing. We sell our for $29 currently. Different sellers, different situations. They could have a better deal for being a bigger store.

Thanks so much for your inquiry. This item is sold out everywhere. That is why the price is higher than usual.

Yes. They doubled the price too. Don't know what the "ultra" part is... I liked the original product, and the new product just seems like a ploy to charge more to me. Looking for something else.

I saw it at another big chain store, B...Buy. It was for $350. If T is selling for $179, that is incredible. I will check them out.

There is some independent seller (for some reason?) selling for that price, but through ReSqueeze and Amazon they are $14.99 :)

Yes, the answer is actually quite simple .... Marketing. Retail prices are meaningless. They give you the impression that you are getting a much better deal or much better quality in the 12 piece set when in reality they are IDENTICAL in construction. If you look today, you can buy the 10 piece set + 11 inch deep sautee with lid to give you the "12 piece set" for $42 less than the 12-piece set. Yet most people will just pay the extra money for the 12 piece set because they think they are getting a better deal.One of the oldest marketting tricks in the book.

It seems like Amazon.com is out of stock on it, and the higher prices you're seeing are from 3rd party sellers. A bit of supply and demand, with a very low supply they are charging more for it. I checked another site (wayfair.com), which said they were going to get more stock around May 1st, perhaps Amazon will too.

Just a guess, but I suspect this is how the manufacturer protects their direct retailers while still allowing discounters like Amazon sell their products at significant lower prices. This model is $150 more at Lowes as of spring of 2014

I do not know where you are coming from on your question. This unit sells for 495 now. All, I can tell you is I am verry happy with mine
