Why this item is so much cheaper than other similar items?

I am lowering inventory as we are moving 1400 miles. Selling at below cost.

The price is incorrect. I've noticed this happening with other items as well.

Although I only own the white version I am pretty sure that the internals are identical. The price differences are a fine example of marketing in action; the more popular item (=higher demand) is priced higher or in simple terms: you take what you can get. By the way, the prices are also different in Germany where we live half of the year. Prices are much higher there and black is the cheapest version because customer preferences differ from the US.

I am guessing that you are looking at two different suppliers. There are different prices for the same thing depending on who you buy it from.

I have no idea why the price difference. I have used mine quite a lot ,no signs of wear yet. I would say it is well made . Hope this helps you.

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

if you look more on amazon.com you will find it cheaper. That is just one price among many listed for this item. Please look further on the pages and you will find it cheaper. The wholesale price is still the same and there was no increase and as a result the retail prices you see vary from one seller to another. Thank you

This particular one yes. I've noticed other cheaper ones that are not but this was.

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

The two are supposed to be the same. In fact it's the same company, just two brand names...Not sure why there's this price difference.

I was just wondering the exact same thing. I found this same 2.2 lb product on another site for $16.95. I wanted to order it from Amazon due to my Prime account and free shipping, but even with shipping costs from the other place it ends up being MUCH less costly. Are we sure this is priced right? Doesn't seem to be. Sorry, if this isn't an answer but just another question...

I have not used the cheaper one, so I am not sure. I just know this one is perfect and doesn't cost very much.

I have no idea--it must be a different seller? I am not sure how this works, so can't tell you--I have always just gone with the lower price--sorry I am no help!

Colorful items sells what appears to be the same machine for 3 or more prices.The descriptions used differ slightly but the machines look to be the same.If go to thier website they only sell one machine and its $250so why are there machines here on amazon for $175?

I have used it for years. It seems the same to me. This is the least expensive place I know. Cheaper than buying thru local retailers.

They probably have more of each color or the cheapest one is not selling well. Sometime companies will lower the price of one to get the merchandise to sell. Hope this helps.

That's probably why they cost around $85 dollars at the mall, but as I've used both,I see no deference and they work the same. also at amazon You can save a lot! I really recommend to buy it..
