I bought the same Radica Solitaire game last year, in August, for 28.99. Why has the price increased so radically?

It has risen from $1469 to $1499 a couple of days ago. I managed to get it at the old price, beating the increase by a few days. Might get higher by February, the $ is in really bad shape worldwide and no end is in sight of it's fall.

This is not the same one, sadly. You can only buy that through ellusionist to my knowledge and it starts at 30.00

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance.Chuck

Looks like it. When I bought this, I believe it was on sale for $10 or under. No idea what happened for a price increase like this, but your statement $35 for 15 cards is correct. The cards are great, but that is a lot for just 15 of them.

The game is out of stock and probably between print runs, probably due to being featured on the web show Tabletop. People that have copies they are willing to part with are taking advantage of the increase in demand and raising prices to what they hope the market will bear. Economics 101.

I saw it online this morning at beachcamera & buydig for 1224.95, then later this afternoon its up to 1294.95. Seems like the price changes by the hour unfortunately.

$45 is not really that bad for a game that you get a lot of longevity out of IMO. Plus it's a gorgeous game and a highly re-playable family game. Think of it as "How much would I spend with the family going to the movies?"

The Radica Big Screen Solitaire Game is hard to find these days and is a collectible item. Thanks for looking.

I was wondering the same thing. I bought 2/12/14 at $27.72 and today, 4/2/14, the price was $41.58. I bought caribou instead. An increase of 50% in the price...no time for that!

Klondike. And I wish I could find another Radica Solitaire. I love mine and I want to have a back up.

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

I've been watching the price for about 14 months. Late last year, I saw the price go to $489, but it was for a short time, only.

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

I have been following this item and pricing too. I was wondering what caused the price to just double. It must be an error.

It's most likely because Nintendo is no longer having new copies of this game printed. Once a game goes out of print, it's value as a new, sealed copy tends to increase.

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.
