about 4 months before they released the new product the company to get rid of stock started selling to retailers for 80% off

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

I noticed the same thing! Came back to buy 2 for my 2 boys and was surprised at the price difference. Hoping it drops again in time for Christmas!

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

It's an Amazon glitch. I've had it happen before with other products. Amazon won't offer the lower price, only what shows on the actual product page. However, if the price drops after you've paid for it and amazon has shipped it, you can ask them to give you back the price difference.

Do let us know what map version ships with your unit. FWIW, the price was $5 cheaper last week, then they raised it $8 this week, and subsequently lowered it $3. No clue..

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

I did it. I believe Garmin still sells the updates, two ways: one at a time for$xx and lifetime for about 2*$xx.It saves a lot of mental hassle on should I do it or wait awhile to do it to save some money.DH

I have no idea since I didn't purchase that model. Generally paying substantially more for the new model of anything is not justified when only incremental changes have been made. It all comes down to research and a value decision.

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

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

I'm glad someone else noticed this too! It was $8.80 when I bought it in July 2013. Now it is $16.48. I'm going to buy it somewhere else.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon. I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

I reported it last year (August 2007). At least they have the right product now. Hopefully they'll figure out the price someday. ;-)

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

Yeah. It was being sold by Office Depot. They even had it for $85 for a bit. I was going to buy as well. Too bad. Now I'll save that money for when the next gen systems come out. If you go to Office Depot you can still get it for $99.99 but says Temporarily Out of Stock :(

OMG! I've just checked it on Amazon and you're right! That's outrageous. I have it in my Saved For Later file and I see that it says the item is no longer available from the selected seller. The price has changed. I won't be ordering it at that price! If you find out what the reason is, I'd love to know. Good luck finding a replacement.
