Expensive: Why is this so expensive?

I love this flavor but I watch and buy it right from tassimo its cheaper. They run specials every know and again and you can pick them up for less. I think it was about $8-$9.

Well, it's an issue of supply and demand. The product is no longer manufactured, and New Old Stock - which this is - is in limited supply. Most of us who want or need this device will settle for a used or 'refurbished' one for a fraction of that $489.99 price, but sellers of the NOS item are asking the highest price they think they can get - and if you check around, you'll find that this inflated figure (roughly ten times its original retail price just several years ago) is in fact in the ballpark.

I have used it for years. It seems the same to me. This is the least expensive place I know. Cheaper than buying thru local retailers.

The logical assumption is higher count should be less expensive, but as you have pointed out; not always the case. Do the math and always go with the less expensive option.

Because Amazon doesn't do the math (not that they have to). They are provided a product from a seller for a certain price, and adjust their mark-ups accordingly I am sure. If the seller makes a base price with a package deal that is more expensive than buying the same amount individually, then that is their prerogative. Dumb, but at the same time they are likely to catch many un-savvy buyers in this product package making their packaging deal worth it to them. While it is unfortunate, it is the responsibility of the buyer to look at the different products and choose the best option for themselves. Hope this helps!

Hello, Thank you for contact us. Since this item has high scarcity value, a price becomes high. Yours sincerely

There are a lot of expenses that go into selling merchandise on Amazon or anywhere else. There is the shipping to Amazon, selling fees, stocking fees not to mention gasoline expense along with wear and tear on my vehicle and lots of miles. Not everyone will pay over $40 for this item but some will which will enable us not to loose money selling this item. I hope you understand our position. Thanks and take care.

ps I just wanted to add that Webkinz Signature animals have gotten very expensive and are in high demand; that is probably the reason for the high price.

I can't figure it out myself. My son has one, exactly as pictured, and it's a nice toy, but $40 nice not $300 nice. There is absolutely no reason this should be so expensive, unless of course it came with Handy Manny live and in the flesh, and he just appears whenever something around the house is broken and fixes it for you with hassle and at no additional cost.

I found this interesting. I didn't expect the price to stay below 400 for long. It would seem to be due to the number of returns and poor customer service, though I haven't had to experience any of those myself. Large package, expensive to ship, a business is about making money and cutting costs. The popularity of an item doesn't matter. Perhaps TCL raised the price of the set themselves and Amazon decided the item was too risky and expensive in the end to keep. I sure would not pay $449.00 for this set now as listed by a seller. (3/29/2012), but then that is because I have one I bought for $329.99. My option at the time was to pay more than 400 for a Samsung, my second choice. I found this interesting.

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

First of all, this price doesn't insure mail and doesn't chase of the mail too. Even with that, it is an impossible price. Because our shop treat only a formal product, such a price is impossible. I hope to be able to work with you when another opportunity comes up again. Regards,AFFLUENT LIFE TOKYO.

It is well too expensive. I bought the product for $65.00 earlier in the year and even last year. Way too much a rip off.

I have no idea why it's priced so high. I bought mine at Walmart at a much lower price. This is actually now an older version, too.

Look at what is in the tablet and you'll know why. There's a reason it's the most expensive out there.

Expensive? I think the price is just right. You can try comparing other ligatures by buying cheaper ones than this. For the price, I am highly satisfied with it. :)
