Why is the Emjoi Optima so much more expensive?
78928
Please be advised that emjoi no longer manufacturers the Optima model. If you have found it available it is most likely from a third party vendor.

Because some people think they can get away with charging that much. I have one for about 2 years now ($75) and love it. Made a huge difference with carpel tunnels. I recommend it highly. But if mine broke today and I had to replace it and $230 was the only option, I would actually think about it.

Hi there, my best guess is their costs to produce it have risen. And the price of competition (equal quality food)are higher.

I think it is just a case of Logitech trying to gouge the consumer. Their manufacturing costs did not increase anywhere close to that amount. I manufacture many products in china (these are made on Doungguan) and they are just trying to make a better profit to pay for their acquisition of Lifesize communications (for which they over paid) to explain to wall street. Don't accept it. Buy a closeout receiver and a nice pair of speakers for about the same price until they realize their mistake and lower their retail prices back down to the $270 level which still gives them a good profit and a reasonable valuue for the consumer.

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.

I also think it is over priced but here are some reasons it pry costs so much.1) Includes an HDMI cable2) 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

I can only assume that it is due to supply and demand. The new ones are $135+

out of production, but still in demand i assume. it seemed one of those rare "stand out" models in an otherwise so-so lineup. so i guess it's priced like a collector's item. mine has since failed, and i'd replace it with same -- IF it were still available at original price.

It is "insanely expensive" but you can buy this part for about $55 on other web sites. Even Norelco's Web Page has it for about $75 so somebody is gouging here.

I'm not sure. I can only think some colors are more popular than others and that's why they are more expensive.

Because people will pay that much. Not much competition. This one actually works as advertised to protect your expensive investment. Need more answers?

As far as I can see, it has something to do with an improvement in the NEXIA software. NEXIA requires a subscription of around $12/month. Personally, I don't use it. I'm quite happy with my Verde Z-Wave and it's options.

Way too much money, paid $49 for mine! No idea why this one is priced so ridiculously high.

I don't know why it is so expensive. However, I do suggest you to stay away from this laptop, as I had lots of issues with it.

I just bought this at Wal-Mart for $3! Why is it so ridiculously expensive here?!

It is definitely way to expensive. I saw the same on eBay for $15.99 still in its package.
