Closer to $400 on ebay. Also don't forget the price is CAD and shipping into Canada was more than the unit itself.I just sold my boxed Nabu for $80. Maybe I should have asked for more...
Yes, from sellers that only waited until all were sold. That's a rip-off and only done for profit.Closer to $400 on ebay.
Like I mentioned, shipping and taxes into Canada were much more than the purchase price.
I can second this. Shipping was an extra $40 more to BC but I skipped on the NABU thing because they were horrifically expensive to import back into Canada.Yes, my $79 Nabu ended up around $215 CAD shipped.

I don’t think someone should get banned for selling something for its current value. That’s like saying that I bought gold for $275 per ounce in 1999, hoping it would be worth more, and then you got angry because it’s now selling for $2000 per ounce.
Yes, that is the entitlement to un-earned profit that I spoke about. The supply didn’t change, and I guarantee you no seller took a survey of demand before they increased the price 2-5 times.Supply and demand. If you think the item is too expensive, don't buy it. Next.
“It’s economics” is not a counterargument to “this is a bad way to do things economically.”No, it's economics. The supply certainly did change. There is no longer a warehouse full of NOS NABUs.
As a seller, you have the right to ask for any price you want. And as a buyer, you have the right to not purchase the item. Eventually, the fair market price will be found. This is the "survey of demand."

It’s just greed, and your normalization of greed doesn’t make it any less disgusting.
Bingo. I was hoping someone local would pick it up and save a few bucks over current pricing. No worries, I'll pack it into the retro closet for a rainy day.Did you miss the part about it costing more to ship to Canada?
There are Nabus for sale at this very moment, FROM THE ORIGINAL SELLER, which after shipping to Canada would cost $341.86 (CAD).
