Item Price: Why is the price of Elder Sign so high?

"Designer" board games usually have a list price in the range of $50-$100. The components of the game are if a much higher quality and far fewer copies are produced, therefore the price must be higher. Many of these games are far superior in gameplay to the mass-produced games you typically find in department and toy stores. By these standards, this game is a real bargain, in every sense.

The price of both of them fluctuates by many dollars. It seems arbitrary to me. Put the one in your cart and when you check your cart every day, you can see the fluctuations in the notices box.

Heh. I'm pretty sure that wasn't an option back when I originally posted this. I think this changed because they've since raised the item price.

Unfortunately, the item (6) is so heavy, the rate is calculated that way. I know, it is steep and difficult to sell.

You have to watch the sellers' pricing. Often there is great disparity for the same item.

I have no idea why it's priced so high. I bought mine at Walmart at a much lower price. This is actually now an older version, too.

No this is not different from the ones you find on other websites. Sellers just try to push the price up in order to make money because some people on here don't look around for the price on other website, and some people just buy it because they don't care but this is why the prices tend to be high.

Happens with many other items. It's a free market, after all. No sane person would buy at those prices, so who cares!

I can only assume that it is due to supply and demand. The new ones are $135+

It is possible that the higher price for $299 is for a new unit, the used price would be naturally lower ($125).

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

The price is higher than MSRP for the item because freight shipping costs are including in the selling price.

Because the person selling the used ones wants to make as much money as possible and is hoping consumers don't notice the fact the new ones are less expensive. Some consumers just assume used must be cheaper, and some of the people selling used items count on that.

The website also has it for $2199. You have to add it to your cart. The circular in the Sunday paper also listed it for $2199.

Hello, Thank you for contact us. Since this item has high scarcity value, a price becomes high. Yours sincerely

I apologize I cannot not tell you who had it at 603 and why it jumped since we are not the seller who had that price. There are several sellers and we sell it for 703.99 + shipping. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

If there is a Cost Plus World Market in your area, you can buy them for $6.99. I have no idea why the prices are so high here.
