Why has the price of this product doubled?

The shipping from Thailand is expensive. I will take the price normally is $139.50. Thank you for your attention. :)

The damand has increased dramatically. Even i as a seller sold out my stock and now had to outsource from another distributer that charges a higher price.

Gypsy and CJ, the price has already gone up several dollars since I bought it around a month ago. I considered it a very clear indicator that merchants want to get as much as they can from their stock (not limiting that remark to amazon). I also looked on other sites.. it was expensive there too, and now it is not appearing on most.

Agreed. The price has risen by 50% - I kind of want to know why. Anyway, I won't be buying this one unless the price goes back down :(

I have no idea why the price doubled (from when?), but it's normally $52 at Best Buy, and it's on sale at Best Buy now (11/20/13) for $40. Same model, I just bought it.

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

Not available at local stores anymore. Wondering why the price online is inflated and and product unavailable otherwise.

seems they would still be charging double the shipping cost if you buy two, so that was not a straight forward answer!

I noticed that too. Went up $12 from the last time I purchased this from Amazon - about 6 weeks ago.

The price set is based on various things, a major factor being cost and shipping. It is highly possible that the vendor had to pay more if the price was increased

I do not know why another seller has it priced so high. Please check my listing instead.

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

I found the price change upsetting, too. But since the item was already in my cart I learned that it was because the stock was depleted and the provider didn't have anymore at the lower price. - My first impulse was to blame Amazon but they proved me wrong. It apparently is not their fault.

The last time I ordered this ink set here, it was about $22.00--a great price. That was a while ago. Imagine my surprise when I coming back to re-order. The price has doubled, and not just on Amazon but pretty much everywhere. What happened? The main reason I chose the Epson R2000 was because the inks were so affordable. That's no longer the case.

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.
