Just check eBay more often. I recently bought there new in box Sideclip for 34$.
But such listings do not hang for long and you need to catch it until someone gets ahead of you ;)

Supply and demand. Just check eBay. Sometimes, people just won't notice auctions, or someone will just list it super-stupid low. I got a Mini Tool from 1995, complete with sheath for $15 a couple years ago.
