Undoubtedly,there is going to be someone with more money than sense,and pay that kind of price.I can't help but think of one of my  local brick and mortar, sporting goods store,that seems to take MSRP as a base price,and goes up from there.

A search on Yahoo shopping doesn't show anyone else trying to gouge like that.

That link was at Amazon for $139.99, but it was being sold by a company called "Click to Deal".  I don't think I'd ever want to "deal" with them.

I hope Wal-Mart gets them in soon.  It will probally be about $20 cheaper than anywhere else.

THE MSRP (or RRP in oz) is really none of the general publics' business, and a store can and should charge whatever it can get away with based on local interest and demand.

If you don't like any given store price, either attempt to negotiate, or vote with your feet and go elsewhere.

If you feel the "MSRP" is the "fair" price for anything, you're in for a rude shock, many manufacturers set "list" prices up to 4 or 5 times what any reasonable man would expect to pay.

Unfortunatly Wall Mart wont have them for a while. I actually checked at mine and the guy said that he has heard nothing about getting any. He did know however what they were because he read about them on BF. But I set him strait. and gave him this place. :cheers:

As to WalMart getting the Skeletools, I think it more likely that they will end up with the Freestyle when that comes out.  The price point of the Freestyle would seem more appropriate for WalMart then the Skeletools.

There's a guy selling 4 for $220 right now, but no telling when they'll ship.   That would be a pretty nice deal if a couple people got together.
