Why'd the price get jacked up? I was just ready to buy a pair of J2's, then come online this week and find they've gone from $14.95 to $23.95.. and this with a newer model on the market?

And now they are saying they were $79.95 to try to make $14.95 sound like a good Cyber Monday deal? Really?

Third party sellers. Amazon probably doesn't have any in stock. If they get any more in, the price will go back to msrp.

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.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon. I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

WAIT NO LONGER! Here this morning for a steal at $499.99 from Buy.com! Get 'em while they last.

Why have these jumped $100? Yeah, they are discontinued but the replacement model are close to $200 also. What's the deal?

I ordered from a third party seller the first time, and only got one. I returned it & then ordered directly from Amazon and got the pair. I thought the original price was a little low for two.

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

I saw it online this morning at beachcamera & buydig for 1224.95, then later this afternoon its up to 1294.95. Seems like the price changes by the hour unfortunately.

Gypsy and CJ, the price has already gone up several dollars since I bought it around a month ago. I considered it a very clear indicator that merchants want to get as much as they can from their stock (not limiting that remark to amazon). I also looked on other sites.. it was expensive there too, and now it is not appearing on most.

Not sure about the yellow, but I stopped buying these because I got them for 9.97 in March and now they are 21.27, what is the deal with the huge price increase?

Its like you guys are speaking after my own heart. I totally feel the same way. I was about to pull the trigger on this set and boom another 200 dollars... Ouch. Unless this set drops to the 2168 it was at or lower I'll be taking my business elsewhere. What were you thinking Amazon ???

Whatever stock Buy.com had is gone now. The Amazon "Not yet available/Pre-order" message is back up at the MSRP. Can't believe I caught this a a 33% discount. Hope I'm not getting scammed and these were early release units to generate some interest and reviews??!

Boomphones recently had a sale about 2 weeks ago. I guess amazon didn't change their prices. I'd suggest buying the one at the lowest price.

I'm just reporting back. I truly did not expect to get any special treatment based on what I had read - and I am in the south, but not a southerner. It's just that I waited 6 months for the price to get back down. And whether this plays into it or not, I have recently spent quite a few dollars with Amazon.If anyone else was waiting to buy, now's the time. Who knows what they'll cost next week.BTW Chad, how do they sound?

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part.I guess January has become gouge month or something.
