I've had half an eye on this seller for the past 24 hours. It's trying a variety of different sales models: fix price; price with shipping; US$175; US $189; starting at 99¢ ... and the auctions, ending hourly, are going for well over $200 plus $35 shipping. This morning was pay day ... it's awfully tempting to chip off a few dollars and bid just to be able to play with the thing.

There appear to be at least two different sellers with the same device playing these "Marketing 101" games -- could be the same factory. Fascinating!
