Why has the price on these trippled in the last six months? Have they been discontinued or something?

Im thinking that the US government found out that these worked better than anything else and shut them down. can't let the sheep think US products universally suck, now can we?In reality, I bet it is because the Germans had too high of a phosphate count, and the US banned phosphates in dishwasher soap. Its okay if the Japanese destroy the Pacific Ocean with radioactive debris, but helping reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by encouraging algal blooms (which sink to the bottom of the ocean and lock away excess CO2 is bad.Bad science, leads to bad politics, which leads to bad dishwasher soap.

They are back-ordered on Miele's official USA site too! Have you found a good replacement?

Hi, they were only out of stock for a brief time, they are in stock now and for the foreseeable future. We try very hard to keep products in stock at all times, once in a while if sales are much higher than expected we run out.

I believe that they are no longer in production - probably replaced by a newer model with a different model number.

My guess is they're no longer available? I just had my white one break today, but thinking about it, it was a gift 12 years ago.

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130.It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

They have been discontinued and now are very rare. Runners love to run with these and so do a lot of people. Sonxtronic xdr-8000 is about the same and has a cheaper price at this time.

I bought mine a while ago. They worked really well, but I have not bought any lately.

These sellers think because it is no longer for sale be Leap Frog that they can get these crazy prices for discontinued items. Don"t be fooled!! Shame on these sellers:(

I agree, this is Ridiculous, Amazon had it for $349 a few days ago, and it may now be out of stock. The dark expresso is still available. I hate it when sellers hike the prices that make no sense.

Sorry, I do not have any for sale. They should be back on the market for about $2.00 a 12 pack within a month or 2. Good luck.

Because they are no longer available. So since the supply is low and the demand is still high...

50 is the regular price... They was on sale from what I heard.. I'll just wait unless they go back on sale or try eBay or another website.. I know I'm not paying no 50 dollars...

Mary, if these are available at any of those places then let me know so I can go and buy them. As far as I know, theyve been discontinued and are only available on Amazon.

Best of luck finding them below a vendor cost this year... wholesale prices are more than that .. and there is no such thing as free freight (the vendor pays) Last year there was a closeout that Amazon may have taken advantage of .. this year there is a quality Italian glass shortage, which explains why this item was not even available for months .. last years closeout prices have nothing to do with current replacement costs... this price is below the retail stores prices - delivered. UPDATE... Amazon again made a regular purchase and priced them per their last years closeout - they have no clue they are selling these below wholesale cost (look at their suggested retail) ... as a vendor for Bormioli - these type things get my blood boiling - but as a consumer I would say GRAB all you can .. they are below wholesale costs.

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.
