Why is it so inexpensive? Also, How long will it be this cheap? (Estimate)

Michelle, This item is an older model. As far as I can tell, this item is no longer being manufactured by AMD. The price should not fluctuate too much as the item is going to be discontinued from selling once the item is out of stock.

I guess I am a lucky lucky guy. 7 years and 10, I said 10 months. Wish I would have know that before I purchased it. Probably would have purchased a $20 one not a $75 one. Jon

I am pretty sure the re sellers bought it cheap when it was at $35... so I guess not anytime soon

Oh yeah! I couldn't explain why it's so cheap, other than its not the newest out there. From what I can tell it's completely legit!

Yes, I realize this... I saw the price back in mid July as well but didn't order it then because I wasn't ready yet. I'm wondering if the price will every go back down to that... and my guess is that it's not likely... I see it from $1900ish area. I think it's too popular of a TV for them to drop the price now.

Since you didn't specify price, I'm not sure what you're blathering on about. It is presently $58 (I got it a few days ago for $55), which is less than the average of .10 a piece.

The price will always change depending on the seller. The regular price locally will be just under $4. When Amazon has it in stock they also charge under $4.

You are absolutely right about the price. I never paid $41.00. The last time I bought it it was around $21.00 - My feeling is at the $41.00 price I wouldn't buy it either - However, as far as quality goes, I still feel they are the best I have used so far. That doesn't mean there isn't better, just that I haven't found it yet.

I have no bias for this, but that's kind of a silly question. You want something to last for years, at this cheap price? Good luck with that! As for this product, it works well if you want to cool it quickly and use it quickly. It does not last beyond 30 mins or so.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

I came here from Uncrate.com who is reporting it only costs $650 with WIRED.com saying it's $600, but it's still selling here for $900. Either price point is absurd in my opinion, and I'm just as amazed as you are people are buying it at such a high cost.

I will let u know if I can find the paper/information but I remember it being fairly short, roughly 90 days or so. I had it for a few months now and it works perfectly so far

Not sure how long it is. I bought it early to use when I move. It was a good price and I thought I'd take advantage of it at the time. Sorry, I know this doesn't help. It looks to be long enough for my needs though.

I missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

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.
