2 months shoe box recorders were 24 dollars now almost 70 why

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

The box comes with 2 years subscription. It is $40 to renew subscription thereafter

I'd be willing to guess that Behringer buys these same units from the same factory, puts their name on them and marks them up $20. Then again this is only my guess.- Jay

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.

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive.

The going rate on eBay for these is around $100-$150, so $80 is a reasonable price. As another response said, these are discontinued and apparently popular.

It's much lighter than a stand alone DVD recorder. The negative side is the one I used to record depositions with did not even last 12 months. Sony refunded my entire purchase price under the terms of the warranty as they did not have parts to repair it. If you don't need heavy duty use, it is a great little machine. The reason cost is high in my opinion is because they are discontinued and no longer available.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

Don't know why the price shot up....it doesn't make sense. The Z-2300 has been superceded by the Z-623; I don't imagine that the Z-2300 is still being manufactured.I bought the Z-2300 when it was on sale for $80 last fall.I'd say that unless you can find a set for $80 to $100 forget it and go for the Z-623 instead. It's currently, as of May 10th.'11. selling at Amazon for $130.The price for a new z2300 has gone up to $280 just two days after posting this. Totally absurd.

It's actually a question of economics. I bought 24 dated MAR 2021 which leaves only 5 more years of guaranteed life. The box was shelf worn. I was a bit disappointed but I will keep them. They were approximately $2.00 cheaper than other vendors with the same batteries with 7 years of guaranteed life. It's your decision of which to purchase.

Good point, thanks - you got me worried. So I checked Shure's web site and found this (I couldn't see any info around limitations for non-authorized dealers?):"All products manufactured by Shure Incorporated after December 31, 2002 feature a limited two-year warranty. This two-year warranty is specific to the date of manufacture as determined by the serial number or date code printed on the product."http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/ServiceAndWarranty/ServicePolicies/index.htmI also checked the www.365USA.com web site and they mention the manufacturer's 2 year warranty for direct sales of the same headphone:http://www.365usa.com/DacsaPortal/?ProdID=7020084578So I think I'm ok..

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere. I should've just purchased them before :( I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular. edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID=43&prodID=156 It is listed as discontinued. I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

If you bought this machine from Amazon you got a good deal Best buy is about $100.00 more, wal-mart is 70.00 more, I have 2 DVD recorder machines from amazon I am a recording buff and I also have a DVD box from Direct-tv, this gives me Three Laywers to burn to, my Direct-DVD box can record watch over and oved then erase it when you tire of it, if I like it and want to keep it I burn it from the Direct-TV box and burn it on to a DVD-R and keep the movie forever like GONE WITH THE WIND,GIANT, BULETT, JAMES BOND,ETC.

It doesn't worth $70. It got stick very soon, eventhough I didn't use it everyday and used verycarefully

I brought this product 2 months ago. 18 of them for $24.99 free shipping. Now 1 month later it's 35 or 40 bucks ? Why ???

Check the 'use by' date on the big box. It is easy for the big boxes to last longer than the use by date.
