I am one of the folks who got one of these, for our family, not as a re-seller...I think that total, there were only about 100 total...lots of orders, also lots of cancelled orders. It seems that many of the people who bought multiples are not getting their orders filled, whereas people who made reasonable orders (1 or 2) already have their readers.
I don't think that it matters at all that sellers were lucky enough to buy them for less than $85 each....the holding power of the price of these readers is a testament to how great they are.... it is still discontinued and very hard to find, particularly new, as these are....I imagine the folks who really want one will still be willing to pay a pretty fair sum for one. Though that deal spent 2 days on the frontpage at SD, B.A.M. doesn't have the inventory to fill all the orders, so there aren't that many readers flooding the market, in reality.
But, if you want one, odds are good there will be more available than usual for the next little while...
