Most of the reviewers say they purchased this item for $2. Am I missing something?

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

From everything I can tell from comments & the product description, its just that you are 'paying' for the big one and getting the little one 'free.' Since it specifies that its a Buy One, Get One Free SET, and not Buy One Set, Get One Set Free, it seems to be a marketing ploy to make it look like a particularly good deal.[I have not bought these however, so I can't confirm this from personal experience.]

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

I bought three for around $16 each on Amazon. I think they fluctuate the price because some folks add them to their Save For Later list in their shopping carts and wait for the prices to drop. Vendors change the price all the time so the notifications pop up in the cart indicating the price change. I agree with the others, challenge the price with Amazon. At worst, they'll probably have you send the one you have back as a return and let you buy again at the listed price (and hope it stays low!).

If the $200 item looks like the picture adjacent to the left, then I would buy that one. I think I bought my filter for about $200 and it works really great. These filters are very simple in construction and I don't understand the reason for the large fluctuation in price.

Well, it's an issue of supply and demand. The product is no longer manufactured, and New Old Stock - which this is - is in limited supply. Most of us who want or need this device will settle for a used or 'refurbished' one for a fraction of that $489.99 price, but sellers of the NOS item are asking the highest price they think they can get - and if you check around, you'll find that this inflated figure (roughly ten times its original retail price just several years ago) is in fact in the ballpark.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

This is certainly worth $50. You can buy it used for cheaper, too. This is just my opinion, though.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, I'm afraid you did pay too much. Amazon has links to brand new ones for $149. I got a used one for $35 a while back. Honestly, I'm not even all that thrilled with the product. Since mine is used, it's possible it doesn't work quite right, but the fan barely blows air and the speakers don't make much difference in the sound or volume either. I was disappointed. Glad I only paid $35.

I must agree, the pricing is all over the map. I often leave items in my cart (the "save for later" function) and doing that I get to easily track price changes that occur over time. I've noticed many items on Amazon fluctuate on an almost daily basis by a few cents to a few dollars. However this printer seems to experience huge swings in pricing - it was $680 yesterday, today's it's down to $599.

Something is obviously wrong with that pricing. I paid $20.00 for it. Haven't used it enough to answer how well it works, but maybe I'll give another try today.

I didn't pay that much...seems it 3was $4.99 and sorry to say, I haven't used it yet. Hope to, though!I think you can find it less that that! Just my 2 cents.

Hello! I was planning to buy this item on the Black Friday, but found the unpleasant surprise of its current ridiculous price! I will wait until its price drops too.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.

Bought mine for the $30 price. I agree with Bryan that it's probably just different sellers. Go with your wallet!

could be. I bought mine for $1460 shipped through a top-rated seller on ebay back in January. I'm glad that it's still not even $100 cheaper 4 months later.
