01Why has pricing increased from $399. To over $700.00 dollars?+
This was in my shopping cart for $331 and when I wanted to check out the price went to 900 dollars. I was going to purchase two! Now I'll stay way from this seller and brand. Wasted my time on studying just what I wanted and then they screwed me out of the accepted price.
