Why did the price increase so dramatically? I bought these a couple of years ago for around 20 bucks.

I am the lowest priced offer and I was surprised by the going price. Supply and demand would be my guess, and the fact that they are a really good pair of scissors.

Same thing here. They were even cheaper than $120 not so long ago. I end up buying them from another on-line retailer for ~$114.00 No point in paying the current price when we know what these things really cost.

Same here. I paid $29.99 in November. Now they want almost double the price.

The last time I ordered this ink set here, it was about $22.00--a great price. That was a while ago. Imagine my surprise when I coming back to re-order. The price has doubled, and not just on Amazon but pretty much everywhere. What happened? The main reason I chose the Epson R2000 was because the inks were so affordable. That's no longer the case.

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

I have not raised my prices in well over a year...I did not raise it my price is still and has been 21.99 for 17 months...you must have the wrong seller thank you

I got 'em for $40. It's probably some algorhythm figuring out what price to set them at so no one buys them while they're out of stock.

yes...product is to expensive now...I don't understand why the cost went up so much

Why have these jumped $100? Yeah, they are discontinued but the replacement model are close to $200 also. What's the deal?

Resellers are selling at a premium, probably because these were pre-sold-out. Anything to make a quick buck I guess. The company who makes them were selling for about $13.

I was just about to buy a white one and the price jumped to $414! The strange thing is, if you go to the manufacturer's website, is sells for 350 euros. I hope amazon buys a new lot and sells them for a good price.

My pleasure. I just looked at the price and it's gone way up. I think I paid around $30 a couple of years ago. I guess they realized how good it was relative to other options.

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

Not really an answer--more of a joining in on the bafflement. These have gone up in dramatically in price. $99.00 for a box of 18? What is going on here?
1348376
Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

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.

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!
