why so expensive? $169.99 worth it?

Look around you can find it for a much lower price. $169.99 is ridiculous.................

When I saw the price, I thought it was for a box of half a dozen of these. The mouse has not yet been created that's worth this kind of money. This price is just silly. I have two of its predecessors, the 5000 model, and paid around $30 for each on sale.

It is being sold by [AIM USA] and they choose what they want to sell it at. I don't know what kind of company that is, but that price is a ripoff. When I bought my mouse a couple years ago, it was only like $30 or $40.

I was able to get one on amazon.com for 499.00 two weeks ago from 17th Street Photo. Crazy how it's sold by Portable Guy for hundreds of dollars more whenever it's the only merchant left selling it here. Yeah, better wait for other merchants on amazon.com to make it available then Portable Guy reduces its price too (but still the more expensive one).

It's posted $39 off the retail. It was showing something like $3 off, but I think that was an error. Sure looks tempting to me.....

You are absolutely right about the price. I never paid $41.00. The last time I bought it it was around $21.00 - My feeling is at the $41.00 price I wouldn't buy it either - However, as far as quality goes, I still feel they are the best I have used so far. That doesn't mean there isn't better, just that I haven't found it yet.

If you compare prices you'll find you can buy this upgraded unit for around the same price as the older unit if you're including shipping. In my case I didn't need $35 worth of stuff at this time... and this unit actually wound up costing me $2 less than the older one by the time shipping was paid. Pro-shopping... it's almost an artform. :D

The last price before the "spike" to $450 was $215, which is the price I paid for it. I never saw it for $150 though, THAT would really have been an amazing deal. I think you just have to wait for the price to drop - nothing to do about it but wait (I waited for 2 months before buying it, because the price was too high, even at 260). All the best

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!! Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO.

Well, hard to say. I bought this for my buddy on his birthday, and far as I can see he loves it! But I had a pretty hard time paying $90 for it.... $150 is just way too much.

I don't think it's worth the $145 asking price considering it has so many limitations. I would pick one up for $99 if they still had that offer but looks like that was only for a limited time.

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

I also think it is over priced but here are some reasons it pry costs so much. 1) Includes an HDMI cable 2) Integrated HD radio antenna (usually uses the headphones as the antenna) 3) Optical audio out. Here is the address to a video where you can see all this information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm7yJSXthz0

If you can, I do not know.The price of the unit is a poor reflection of technology. If I were you, I would look elsewhere. What I have found in my life is price no longer reflects quality ... merely profit.

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

I bought mine here at Amazon for about 17 dollars. Where are you getting 700, it's absurd.

It's a collector's item. That's part of the reason why it costs so much. There are also probably a limited number of these being made. Limited supply + demand = a higher price.

Forgot to mention I paid over $75 more for mine used through Warehouse Deals. It was just a dinged up box model, but I've never seen the price as low as it is now brand new, anywhere! Buy it fast, it's over $100 more mid-winter!
