Based on this (see: 1saleaday), this item got excessed/liquidated by a distributor last... fall probably. Judging by the low ratings/views on Slickdeals most people just aren't interested in such a device, even at $20/pc. Several players (maker/distributor/liquidator) probably took losses unless they were on consignment.
Judging from the initial response on HN, this item totally could've been remarketed better. :)
- ars 15y agoThe $15 deals are over. Cheapest price currently is $25.
- binarysolo 15y agoJust trying to share some experience here since I used to do retail pricing analytics. The $15 prices will come back, if not lower (though perhaps through alternate offline discount-store channels). If you look at how the price continues to fall after October through Christmas shopping season by one inventory holder (1saleaday, probably has 10k+ pieces to liquidate) and how poorly the deal has been moving even with guerilla marketing (see: views on each thread, as well as thumbs-up)... all I'm saying is that this deal's been a dog in retail.
- ccoggins 15y agoI believe this. I bought one from 1saleaday for 15 shipped. Since then I've seen it on 1saleaday twice more. Another 15 and also one day for 9.99 with free shipping.
