      Yes, but they are not made anymore so supply and demand takes over.

I think that is too high also.  I have noticed these starting to go up in price but more in the 100 dollar range.

As Moondawg mentioned, there was a limited run of them and unless they do another run, the supply/demand argument is valid.  I was fortunate to find one on ebay about a year ago for about $150, which is close to the new price for it.  I use it and a couple of other repros for rod runs and picnics.

At $200 plus shipping, how bad do you want one?

I also think it's pretty high. I'm If someone is willing to spend that much on a repro, they'd be better off waiting and buying a nice original.

Very cool and yes if your a collector and that the one you needed then  yes you had better grab it.

FYI, I emailed the company and asked if they would ever make more, this is the response I got.........Not a yes or a no

At this time we are not in production. Later this year the CEO will advise whether or not he will produce the picnic coolers again. I will keep your info and advise as soon as we have confirmation from the CEO of product availability.
 
Thank you and have a great day,

They seem to only have 4-5 products not labeled "Out of Stock"
