I would like to purchase two or more of these stun guns, but I'm curious as to what makes this product more expensive than most others listed here on Amazon? I survived an attack in a mall parking lot in 1987 by fighting back with my free hands and with no voice! He ran off, but I went looking for him the next week at the same place and time. He was caught and let go even with a full confession. This allowed him to repeat his activities in another city.

so sorry that happened to you. I have been lucky enough never to had to use mine, other than the flashlight, and have used the noise of it to scare off a dog. I bought because I have other products from Guard Dog, and I love them. I assumed that they put the same quality into this product. (also ...rechargeable, cable included)

I don't know why it costs more. It could be because it can be plugged up to charge or because it doesn't really look like a stun gun. I got mine because where I live, the maintenance man has come into my apartment unannounced.

Hi Joe , to answer your question honestly I have not had to put in on someone but it sure sounds and looks vicious!! To Put it another way my friends and I bought 5 of these and my husband and his brother said they would let us use them on them . After receiving the police pink stun guns in the mail ...THE MEN BOTH CHANGED THEIR MINDS real FAST .!!!!

If you see a Dewalt drill on Amazon that Amazon says it is out-of-stock in their inventory, there may still be a third-party selling it. What's more, sometimes third party sellers team up with Amazon, so then the item will be held at an Amazon warehouse and will be shipped by Amazon. This is a partnership that allows for third-party companies to offer products through a trusted seller like Amazon, while still being actively involved in the actual sale of their items. In terms of pricing, we are unsure if there is a new Dewalt line coming out or not any time soon. It's very likely, however, but pricing in general - especially in used merchandise - is incredibly competitive. Competition sometimes forces extremes, with people vastly undercutting prices or vastly overpricing items to try to swing average prices in a certain direction. It's also possible that what appears to be a very high price was the average price not too long ago, but extreme undercutting dropped the average price artificially, and chances are the price average will eventually rise back up to where it should be. Thanks for your interest, and I hope this helped!

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

Several. I zapped myself to see how strong it was and like most stun guns, I don't believe that it would actually stop a determined attacker. However it is very loud and bright which makes it intimidating and it would be painful especially in the neck/face area. Plus its fairly heavy so it could be used as a club to. Hope that helps. I believe there's something like 40 full seconds of "zapping" per full charge which is way more than you would need for a single attacker. Its not quite as well made as I would have hoped but I made a few small mods to mine and wrapped the top in a thick layer of electric tape, overall I'm happy with it and bring it with me when I walk my dog at night Several.

I have purchased 4 or 5 of these for my son with special needs. It is his favorite toy. The first ones I bought through Amazon and paid about $20 each for them. Recently I purchased the same toy from my local walmart for $19.97. I don't know why there would be differnt prices. Looks the same to me.

I have last year's model (the one listed now for $196+ on amazon) and it comes with three features that the newer model (2009 version) is not packaged with. The older model came with a sight, shot gun attachment (allows you to take off 3 lives for an accurate hit), and the attachment for the TV plug and play game (It has been played once by my boys). It looks like Hasbro is going to be selling the attachments separately. To give you an idea on cost, the older model sold last Christmas at Costco for around $70. and at Target for around $85.00. So, I don't know what the attachments will cost with the $50. model, but I assume it won't be the same, or they would have kept the older packaging. Regardless, the price of $196+ is way too high. I guess it is "supply and demand." Or just very greedy people. The toy is awesome. We have four guns, and have a ton of fun playing together as a family. I have to admit the shotgun attachment is really cool. The sight is helpful for sniper shots but not close battles. Hope I helped! Shana

I can't answer this because I have not tried it on myself, but I do know that there is a lot of information supporting the use of tasers. It is a close in weapon that doubles as a flashlight meaning that if your using it while walking at night at someone grabs you you'll be able to easily use it to discourage him. Tasers knock people down, but the question is how long before he gets back up and that varies from person to person. However, once down you can keep jolting him to keep him down while dialing 911. I wouldn't suggest running unless safety is close by. I think you're safer to keep him on the ground than to let him get up again. It would also be helpful to carry other deterrents like pepper-spray. What I can tell you that it has a wicked sound which may be good enough to discourage the would-be attacker.

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real.

Contact the manufacturer to obtain such info, if it is not displayed on packaging. (I'm sure it differs from lot to lot). HOWEVER...ASK YOURSELF HOW RELEVANT THAT INFO IS, WERE SOMEONE TO BE BLEEDING OUT WHEN YOU HAD THE Celox RAPID in hand. ASSUMING THEY'D BE GONE BEFORE PARAMEDICS COULD ARRIVE, (to quote former Sec. of State H. Clinton): "What difference does it make"?

WoooooooooW $168?! You're right... this is tooo expensive. I only paid like $65 for it in May of last year. I'm assuming it's expensive because you can't get it anywhere anymore. I would try ebay. Don't know where else to look. Sorry

They're no longer being made so some 3rd party sellers are presumably trying to sell them as collectibles? Or they're just trying to rip people off. For $300+ you can get vastly superior night vision products. This one was pretty cool for $80 but I hope too many people are getting tricked by unscrupulous sellers. Incidentally, this IS basically the same technology that goes into the $300 IR night vision units, but the legitimately more expensive ones have vastly superior optics and more powerful IR projectors.

I have had 3 of these games, wore them out, love them. Want another one but is just to expensive. I hope you lower the price. 25.00 is the price I use to pay. victory@watchtv.net

I have not purchased this ultra sonic device and I have no idea why I keep receiving questions on this product. I purchased 18 Nite Guard Solar Predator Control Lights which are placed in a large circle around our house. We had a problem with coyotes coming near the house between dusk and dawn, which caused the dogs to start barking, waking us up, etc. Since installing these flashing red lights over 2 years ago, we have not had any coyotes near the house at night. We also have bobcats, but to my knowledge, the bobcats have not come near the house so I do not know if the lights are a bobcat deterrent. We have 5 dogs (ranging from a toy Yorkie to a 72 lb. greyhound), 3 cats and we live in a rural area with all kinds of wildlife. Personally, I would not rely on any device, or even our 8' high fence, to protect our animals from bobcats or coyotes. If the animals are outside, even inside the 8' ft high fence, a human is always with them. I saw the other response of the scarecrow sprinkler and I plan on buying several of these sprinklers to scare away bunnies, etc. once I finish my green house and new vegetable beds, but I doubt a sprinkler will stop a hungry bobcat or coyote from jumping a 4' fence.

You cannot use both at the same time, that is the one drawback. I wish I'd done more research. BUT for the price you won't find a better product. Another thing is that is only going to stun your assailant, not going to drop him or disable him. This is more of a novelty to prank friends

Melissa, I am not sure why there is such price disparity. Usually that indicates hat the particular Yummy Stuffer (alligator here) might be in low supply. I say, "Buy it at Target!" if you can get it for $20 there and shop at Amazon next time - It is my favorite place for shopping - so easy!!My son LOVES this Alligator Tummy Stuffer, by the way. He's 6. It fits an amazing amount of toys - I was pleasantly surprised.Susan

i've been eyeing the ZeroShock III due to some kind folks on this thread recommending it, and i've emailed them twice (!) and still no reply.may i ask if anyone knows what that site is all about? it seems as though they only have 3 items on that site!! 3 items. that must be the smallest offering of any site i've ever visited, but no worries, if the item is great, i'd like to buy it. yet, not if they won't return my emails though...look forward to hearing from you guys. thx in advance.
