Why is this listing so much cheaper than the other Contour +2's, with the new/old packaging?

Contour closed their HQ and stopped production in August. The future of the company is up in the air right now as Clarke Capital Partners just bought it and the plans to begin selling the cameras again is up in the air. My thought is that Amazon is trying to reduce their inventory. I would buy now, as if they re-open it will raise the price of this amazing Sports POV camera back to the retail $350.

make sure its the right model your looking for, also it could prob be cheaper if its not in new condition or if its missing parts.

If you check the description on the "used" item, it is actually new in open packaging. Amazon is very strict on what can be considered new, and anything opened or damaged isn't new and has to be sold under another condition. As for the pricing, either that is the cheapest they want to sell it for, or other sellers listed theirs after the "used" piece was listed. Sellers have to manually adjust pricing unless they pay for certain software, and if you have a large inventory it can be time consuming.

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

I am curious, too. The price is $13 more, for what seems like the identical product.

I know that the Fast Track 2-person that's priced at $1099 from Hill Stores is the current 2013 model. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005QUD68M/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&conditio;n=new). The picture probably hasn't been updated. If you have any other questions, please let me know.Sincerely,DennisHill Stores

I assume that is the model number for the other one as well. the two listings should be for the same item,one new, one used, if I understand the question

The "old version" had different colored buttons, I believe. The base also changed shapes slightly between versions. I bought this one, not the old version, and it was the latest one being sold by Contour.

shipping prices is the main reason. Shipping from the manufacturer $25 then shipping to you another $25 makes it hard. The prices on Amazon are actually still about what the old MSRP was even though the price has gone up.

I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !?Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H; was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same.The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H; brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.; I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s...

I noticed they are from 2 different sellers, so obviously one charges more for the two pack, then the one that sells the single pack.I had only bought the single and found that it was a lot cheaper than the small boxes I found in the stores.

I also was dismayed at the astronomical price increase over just a few months. I found it nearer the "old" price on the Shark website. There is no free shipping but it's much more affordable.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

It seemed to be a demo model. That's what they told me. That's why I got such a good deal on it despite it being a new product. Still worked fine so didn't really matter.

Other sites might sell for cheaper. You just have to look a little then but even on Amazon the used ones can be more expensive than the new ones, as it depends on the seller.
