why does the price of this replacement head now equal to that of buying a completely new sensotouch 3d. this replacement seems sold out online everywh

From my research, it appears that the new product that Norelco has started selling, and that everyone hates, is made of plastic rather than metal and results in a much less smooth shave. I haven't purchased my replacement head yet as I'm still trying to decide what to buy but am leaning towards the more expensive, older version just based on everyone's comments. You should be able to find the expensive, older model for probably ½ this price, even on Amazon.

Originally Philips Norelco made an RQ12 replacement head set. For whatever reason they changed the design and the new part number is RQ12+. Consumers complained that the RQ12+ did not work as well as the original RQ12. Sellers who still have inventory on the RQ12 are taking advantage. The RQ12+ is reasonably priced and will work in place of the RQ12.

I remove the blade from the head and run it flat across a sharpening stone a few times and it is as good as new.

The RQ10 & RQ12 have been discontinued and replaced with the RQ12+.The RQ12+ is available for a more reasonable price. After buying the RQ12+, you then only need to purchase the SH90 kit to replace the cutter heads only in the future.

Crazy! I bought the whole razor with the head new on here in 2014 for $117.00!!!!!! Who in their right mind would spend this much for the head if you could get a brand new razor for less???

Because Philips Norelco came out with a new version replacement head that everyone HATES, so the original RQ12 heads are scarce and treated like gold.

Hello: Search for "hq8 replacement heads" on amazon in the "health and beauty" section. A whole bunch of vendors pop up.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help.

I did make researches where is the best price to get the replacement cable for the headphone. I looked here on Amazon if I need for a reason in the future. My headphone is in great shape,the cable also. If I will need a new cable in the future, I might have to get it here on Amazon. I am sorry I was not helpful. I do like the headphone I can tell you that,great with my Pioneer amplifier and good with my ipod and with my tablet also.

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?

Ahhh, us rich Americans can just buy a new Innotab when our 4 year olds lose the stylus (as mine also did days after getting her Innotab for Christmas). Do you wonder if that's the company's rationale? It makes no sense to have this "replacement part" available in the UK but not here. DD loves her Innotab...real shame about the stylus.

It seems like these guys buy them from wacom.com and add their $500 profit. I think this is an Amazon's fail because they allow it. When Amazon sell it directly they use the right price though.

If its for the hair boom, there's not supposed to be one. If its for either of the other two, call amazon to ask if a replacement should come from them or ephoto.

Well, I'm not using this original head and quick shoe (plate), I bought a new video type head when I got this tripod and replaced them. If you are interested buying a new ball head I can sell a original head with quick shoe to you. Please contact me. They are new condition. I can set up a eBay with buy now option.

Nathan was correct. I had the same issue a few years ago with a Microsoft trackball. They had discontinued it and the only NIB were going for 5 times more than the original price. If the product is discontinued from the manufacturer and new supplies are limited the market will determine the price. It's not much different from someone selling a collectors item that's NIB for much more than it orginally sold. How about the Beanie Baby craze when people would find a rare one for retail and then mark it up 1000% and resell it.

Anywhere you can find them. The replacement heads for these are the RQ12. For some reason they are about $130 a piece AND they are sold out everywhere. Or don't buy the replacement heads at all and buy a new razor. Unless you like the idea of paying $130 a year.

Because demand has gone up. This mouse is no longer made. This mouse has a huge presence in many gaming communities.

No. People are trying to make easy money over-hyping something that is still available for nearly the same price it was released years ago. They discontinued the mouse, but it is NOT that rare yet, and CERTAINLY not worth 200 dollars.

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).

Mine was under $50 10ish years ago. Now I can't afford to replace it...what's up with this price???
