why so expensive ? What keeps this price so high?

Years ago they cost 5000$. My guess is that the price is still 'high' due to lawsuit potential. You can accidentally injure your own spine if you stretch too long.

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

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

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.

I came here from Uncrate.com who is reporting it only costs $650 with WIRED.com saying it's $600, but it's still selling here for $900. Either price point is absurd in my opinion, and I'm just as amazed as you are people are buying it at such a high cost.

I have never seen a price so high for this product. Plus, it is not clearly stated if the price is for one box. I would never pay for this item at the price listed. Buy from a different seller. I hope this helps.

price is way too high. I bought 100 net cups last year for about 30.00. keep searching.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

Probably. Reason for price could be inventory issues. Sometimes a retailer sells products cheaply to make room for new inventory on order.

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

I am confused by this as well. Why would the older, out-dated version cost more? It is not an antique!

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive.

I guess that some outlets take advantage of short supply to crank prices up. We consumers should gain the upper hand by not buying at unreasonable prices. Yes... I also got it for 330 and for that price it's an awesome glass.

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

I agree. Why would anyone (I can't imagine anyone this ill informed) buy this at this price?

Because they are currently so hard to come by. I think a lot of the ones listed so high are trying to capitalize on a supply and demand thing. In my case, I had purchased it for this amount from an amazon seller last fall, but ended up with two come the holidays.

There is no reason for such large shipping charge. Is either a mistake or overcharging from seller
