They were just under $400 6 months ago and they will be again if you can wait it out.

was told today that GME406's are as scarce as hens teeth - no stock anywhere - seems the suppliers grossly underestimated massive eleventh hour rush (ie those that left it to the last minute). More expensive units available though.

Mate i got a pains wessex 406 about 2 years ago and it only cost me $325.98.

Everyone new that they were coming in and the old anolouge one were being phased out, IMO everyone should have started buying them in the last 2 years so that the prices wouldn't have jumped by up to $200.

yeah this could have been a plan but with the anologe ones that still had 2+ years till expiry. i think in 2 years we will be paying around $200 for the 406's. there just charging $500 cause they can & know we don't have the choice.
just my 2 cents
