That is a nice one! If I didn't already have two, I'd be all over this.

Looks like the seller experienced a bout of delusional self-confidence in his product, and increased the price to $299. Joke.com...

Hahaha. For $130 shipped, it was a fair deal. For $299, it's just ridiculous.

Whoever is selling it must read Geekhack.

$199 is still ridiculous.

Prices on these are a roller coaster. There are price spikes every year or so. 2-3 years ago when I really wanted one, they were way high and I paid $140 + shipping.

A few months later they were down in the $90 range.

Personally, I would consider <$100 a good price and >$150 excessive, but they have sold in the $200 range recently.
