Why did the price go from 8.99 to 16?

Because Amazon Sellers know that PT Barnum was right. A year later and still $8.99 at COSTCO. Cheers!

Not sure. It costs $8.99 at Costco warehouse. It seems like a really high mark up.

Their prices are electronically controlled to go automatically go up or down based on purchases. I have noticed this on many of their items. This price will go down, I think $17-$18 is their trigger price (the lowest it goes to) and around $35-$36 is the highest.

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.

There obviously some sort of glitch on this web page. I'm looking at the page now and the price is $249.99

lol ....I wonder if or when they will drop it again? We supposed to be getting Black Friday Deals not price jumps! Anyway... hopefully they will drop it back to $624 or lower in a week or 2.

lol I love it, it's already down to $1529.98 on vanns.com from $1799.98 just yesterday. If it's still that price on Tuesday, consider it ordered.

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.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

Maybe log out, then log back in again to refresh your cart. The price was dropped just last night, I got an email telling me so and when I came back to my cart to look, it was showing $9.99.

Yes, Laurie, they were 16.95! I went to reorder and now 59.95. I thought it a mistake and used the question section, hoping for a correction. Can you believe somebody voted negative for the comment?? Perhaps not a mistake, as I see your comment dated on June 13, 2014 and today is July 28, 2014. Such a bummer.

Vendors change their prices from time to time. These changes might have to do with competition or that they got some special and decided to make it a special offering. In any case it was not on our store that this occurred as we have not sold this item. Hopefully this helps. Best of luck to you.

Yeah it was about ten bucks in dec 13. Then it jumped to more then double that. This is why you always need to double check prices on Amazon.

Well, it has come back down to $16.50, and that includes shipping if you have Prime!
