Why are these so expensive? Just wondering

I would like to know the true answer to this question as well. Only thing I can think of is that kids love them SO much, they decided to make them super expensive for what you're getting so as to make a huge profit margin. I mean, seriously? $1.20 PER TILE?? Seems ridiculous to me. The cheapest per unit alternative I've found is the 100 pc set by Playmags. Even that seems incredibly steep for me at $90... That's most of my budget for Xmas. It's a shame they make them so spendy.... So many more kids could be enjoying them. Any comment on this topic, Magna-Tiles reps?

Why hasn't anyone answered this question?? I'm curious to know too why it's so much cheaper too?

I don't know why it says $90 atm. They were around $5 when I bought them through amazon. They are worth the $5 but not $90 lol.

Third party sellers. Amazon probably doesn't have any in stock. If they get any more in, the price will go back to msrp.

Other sites might sell for cheaper. You just have to look a little then but even on Amazon the used ones can be more expensive than the new ones, as it depends on the seller.

The exact same thing. I imagine people who weren't able to get them locally might spend this kind of money, but I'm sure you could still find them online somewhere else for less.

Seriously. I've also noticed that a while back too and so my money is mainly being spent elsewhere. These guys are RIPPOFFS. IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE CHEAPER HERE NOT MORE EXPENSIVE!!!

These keyboard are expensive for 2 main reasons, 1) they are made with mechanical switches, which are individually constructed, meaning they are expensive, and 2) this keyboard is also hand assembled because of the difficult layout. Hope that helps......... PS.... also, there are no real substitutions for this configuration, at least none that aren't substantially more expensive.

because I buy them for $39.95. have them shipped to me then pay amazon their fees and pay shipping to the customer and still try to make a buck. If you are here in the US I would strongly urge you to purchase directly from Valentine. Most of my sales are international as valentine does not ship internationally.

When I bought them they were 8.99 and I did think that was high but I needed them for pinning a chair cover. I do not see why they are so high priced. On the plus side they really worked well and hold tightly.

I have no idea I just buy them when they are at a price I can afford. They work great for me!

You're most welcome, Cynthia. They are excellent quality, and worth more than the price! Good luck.

This product is often sold regionally. They are hard to find. To cover shipping costs and to even be able to make a profit, they are the price they are.

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.

I know what you mean, when I bought mine they were 12.00!!! And now they are costing over 50?!?! I should have bought a few a couple years ago - I won't pay what they are asking for now. I found some iluvs for about 6 bucks that sound just as good...

Indeed, very strange... I bought these off of Dell about 2 years ago for $180 ($200 shipped)... I'm baffled...
