why would anyone pay $30.00/lb... am I missing something?

It isn't $30/lb, but about $16. From Peet's you pay for shipping. If you have PRIME on Amazon, you don't pay shipping. Look at your local grocery. It's worth the price, btw. :)

On amazon these sellers have alot of fees they have to cover first. There is an amazon fee and and also shipping. By charging 15 these sellers are only making a profit of a dollar... after labor. Handling. Inventory. And overhead costs. These sellers in my opinion are here to provide items for those who do not have access to these items in their area.. Hopefully that helps... Sellers aren't making that much mulla

yeah it almost tripled in price and isn't available for subscribe & save anymore either... I need to find some other place to get it for cheaperEdit: just found on the bob's red mill website you can get a 25lb container for very cheap... I'll probably end up getting one of those since I use so much of it anyways.

Because the "prime free shipping" cost has been added into the price. There is another seller who sells 2 x 13.5lbs bags for $15, but they then charge $20 for shipping, so it comes out about the same. Generally anytime you are buying something heavy you can get a better price at a big box store.

I just bought it local for $1,550. That includes taxes and delivery. At the time it was about the same price on Amazon. Now, with free shipping, it looks like I might have saved about $125 if I were only a bit more patient. Actually, it would have been a slam-dunk in Amazon's favor were it not for all the complaints regarding their delivery service.

could be because amazon is offering free shipping (and tax free in some states, though I don't think that is taken into account) where as the other sites are going to charge an arm and a leg.

Our costs are higher than you have found it. These prices mostly include shipping. Amazon also collects a 15% fee from the sellers of this item. I would say keep buying it where you are.

Not sure why you'd be seeing that. The product I'm seeing is $13.49 for 28 oz. directly through Amazon.

This years truck with tax actually costs $30.40 where I reside so if you add shipping which is rarely enough to cover anything more than a 6 state radius,the fees associated with selling on Amazon and the cost of a new box and packing materials most sellers are barely breaking even.But if you live somewhere where they are not available then it is something worth while,but if you live near a station then I strongly suggest that you purchase one there.

i was wondering the same thing. I paid about $30 for mine about 15+ years ago. Still works perfectly, but NOT worth $150.

Amazon controls the shipping fees allowed to be charged.. I have no way of changing the system.. other than giving a refund if grossly over charged.. pending on the quantity,, it should run about $1.00 per pound. after the first pound of 5.05..d

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

No, you should not pay $36 for one plate! Amazon is full of strange pricings like this. Occasionally you will see something worth a few bucks on sale for $1,000 or more. Perhaps someone can explain how this works? It is obviously some kind of computer error. In any case, when I went to the listing you are commenting on, the plate was listed for $4.40. I have not found a good deal on Corelle on Amazon yet. You'd probably do better at WalMart.

From what I have heard the prices got stupid low for a while, I remember them being about $30/lb. Then because it wasn't worth it to grow them anymore the farmers stopped and planted other things. So the supply decreased and the remaining farmers are now charging an amount that makes it worth growing for them.

I bought this from Walmart online yesterday for around 30, and they only charge a buck for shipping...

Do not remember what I paid. For me, in comes to convenience. I have it. WM is too temping for other things, I seem to find too many things I may want. Check and compare if price is utmost to you.

Not sure why. But I buy the 12 lb bag, which is a much better deal per pound. The 12 lb bag was $26 in Sept, then $30 in Dec, and now it's $32. So it went up too, though not as much as the 7 lb bag. I'd recommend switching to the 12 lb bag. For $2 more you get almost twice as much! You can always put half the bag in a container to keep it fresh, so it doesn't go stale. I have a 17 lb terrier mix, and I just use the whole bag with him, closing it tight each time. Works fine.
