exact item sells for $1,000 less, why?

Because the site you have referenced does not look legitimate. The site is poorly built and the pricing on the items is very inconsistent. I would say this is probably a scam.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

The price new is $9,999, not $999. The $999 one must be the cut rate version they sell to discount electronics sores.

I just found the exact same size (1.25 oz) on another site for only $9.86!! I don't know what's going on, but it is available, and it's available at a considerably less price.

I bought this item last year and it was $15.00 and I flipped to come back and see it at $34.44. BUT the difference is the seller. Last time I bought from Amazon and this item is not Amazon as the seller, right now if you find Amazon as the seller the item is $17.56 so not too much difference from your $17.00. Another buyer pointed this out to me recently as I flipped about the difference as well.

As you may have noticed there are several different sellers selling this. That may be why you are seeing a different price.

Hello, It could be that the price changed to the pricing from the supplier. We apologize. Thanks

Yes this is price gouging... personally I think Amazon should not allow items to be listed above a certain percentage of msrp. Not even sure if this will work with a modern OS (apart from Linux).

This is how some companies lure people into buying items. They reduce the price so that it gets your attention and shows up in searches for lower price ranges, but then they recuperate their loss by increasing the shipping price.

These are the same unit, just as different/duplicate listings from various sellers, thus the price differences as well

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.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

No this is not different from the ones you find on other websites. Sellers just try to push the price up in order to make money because some people on here don't look around for the price on other website, and some people just buy it because they don't care but this is why the prices tend to be high.

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

Sorry, I have no idea. I would bet that they are the same and someone is charging more for it.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.
