I noticed the same thing. It's a popular toy, but this price is double what it was in stores and online when it was available.

They can sell for any price they want. And you can purchase or not. Just order it from another vendor. Its a great teamaker. Personally, I would purchase the larger version. I find it more versitile.

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.

People buy it and don't want it. so they try to scam other people. like when this is no longer sold buy this seller and someone wants it. they have to look somewhere else.

Maybe someone has a used one. Some people sell their items themselves on Amazon.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

I agree with Victoria Adam's post 100%. What everyone must realize is that Fisher Price is a fabulous company who makes fantastic toys... they are not the cause of this sudden price leap. They retailed the toy for approximately $40... greedy !@#)$ bought large numbers of the toy as Victoria mentioned, before the general public could get their hands on them. This is unethical. It puts strain on the company to produce more... can inevitably cause the market to be "flooded" at Christmas due to the apparently high demand... and still children who want this toy won't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting one for Christmas... Merry Christmas! I agree with Victoria Adam's post 100%.

We had it for sale at the time of product launch for $2.00. A lot of people took advantage of that sale. Thanks!

I AGREE WITH YOU! This is so wrong! The world is FULL of GREEDY people and any way they can rip someone off they feel better.. These kind of people don't care about the kids having fun. EVERYTHING is about money anymore!... What if the table was turned and they really wanted to suprise their child, and couldn't because of people like that? This is really dissapointing.

Geeze you know I never checked, I bought it for a gift, for my granddaughter.. I think she would have called me and asked what the deal was if it was different from a standard anything she has seen. I can try to get hold of her and ask..

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

Havent been able to find it either and taking off the market was a big mistake for them!!!!!! Such a great product...dumb on their part. And no way would I pay $20.00 for something I payed $4.00 for before...I agree a ripoff!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I purchased my right when it come out for $300 and after used I sold it for the same $300. I sold it because this item used a great amount of bandwidth and when I lived at this moment (Brazil) the internet is control it. What I don't understand why are some people selling this now for $666.66, insane!

I got mine here on Amazon for 230.00. I would not pay 400.00! It would be nice if everyone would price them fairly, I laugh when I see them priced 2 to 5 times what a fair price is. Must be looking for stupid buyers.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.
