Why would the wireless accessory kit cost $40 while the actual product the Bamboo Pen Tablet costs $52? It seems ridiculous.

69, 154, 199, 309 & 412...then buy the $400 one so it doesn't seem so ridiculous.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wacom comes out with an affordable all-inclusive wireless pen tablet. Naturally that'll happen soon AFTER you buy the latest wired tablet.

Because the wireless Accessory kit fit's more than one model many of them being much more expensive than $52.

It is a great input device, but I didn't pay more than about $50 for it, shipping included. I can't guess as to why it is advertised at this current price.They are available elsewhere for much less. And for a few dollars more, a wireless version is now available.

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.

There are working models available that are more expensive. The $35 offering seems to be a non-working model.

Brock I have not received mine yet, nor has amazon indicated that they have it back in stock. I'm starting to think they're low on the list as far as vendor priority for Wacom, as other places have started to get them in stock, but are charging $200-$500 over list price. If anyone else has received this product from Amazon this year could you chime in on how long your wait was.

I'm guessing the reason for the price increase is due to this item being discontinued by the manufacturer. I have 2 printers. The Blacks share the same refill system; however, the color take separate so I need 3 different kits. I use to pay $14.00 each for these, and not from this supplier. It's sad that these kits are hard to come by as they were the most efficient, and easiest to use of all the kits I have ever used.

I believe it's the digitizer and not the pen that makes this model cheaper. I think another pen would work, and the touch screen on this model works well, but not as well as the model with the better digitizer. It isn't just missing the pen, it has a different screen. I think. I am far from a professional.

Although tablets are wonderful to work with, if you've never used one before, I reccomend getting a cheaper one before splurging on a really high-end model that you might not end up liking. Graphire3's or 4's are pretty cheap, and you get a really decent tablet for that price. It gives you a launching pad, something cheap to practice with before you commit yourself fully to an expensive one.

Whoever this seller is apparently doesn't plan to sell any of these tablets. Shame on Amazon for offering a price 500 higher than Wacom itself. Wait for some other company to offer a cheaper price.

If I understand correctly this product is only compatible with the Bamboo Capture, Create, and Intuos 5 models. If you already have the Manga Pen and Touch turn it upside down and look to see if there is a housing compartment for the battery and receiver (there would be a panel that you just slide off). If its there, then it probably works with the wireless adapter.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help. I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago.

It seems like these guys buy them from wacom.com and add their $500 profit. I think this is an Amazon's fail because they allow it. When Amazon sell it directly they use the right price though.

Because it wasn't built with a wireless card. You can purchase a wireless USB adapter at Best buy for $30-$70. Good luck with this PC.

It's because that one has a touch screen. Touch screens are expensive. I mean that's why it's more expensive of course.

I'm not quite sure, you may have to wacom.com to find out more their wireless accessory kits

The company took forever to answer cause they forgot and ignored me, after 30 days the item is yours. So i went to Ubid and purchased a tablet for $70, an Apple mac laptop new for $ 299, I highly recommend an American company cause I realized how important instructions, learning a system. It can be hard enough without a foreign language
