I'm confused as to how they got these.
Amazon is selling them cheaper to 3rd parties to undercut themselves?

Page claims brand new and full warranty.
good price if fully legit

Those are authorized resellers/retail locations.
They sell the entire Amazon product line and have for some time.

BuyDig stocks ONLY the Recast as far as I can see and has 0 reviews on the item (so it seems to be a new listing).
Amazon warranty is pretty explicitly regarding "Authorized Resellers" but I can't find a list for who counts.
Like I said, good price if they count...

Still couldn't find it on Amazon site anywhere (which is weird/problematic)

but per BuyDig (for what it's worth):
"We are 100% Amazon Recast authorized dealers. The name may show as Beach Trading, Beach Camera, or Buydig. We are owned by the same corporation. Kindly provide your receipt to them and advise the manufacturer. The USA Authorized Dealer Warranty means that the item is under a USA warranty only. "

You'd have to pay me $129.00 to take that thing off Amazon's hands. Mine sucks and is now a paper weight.

This thing is a piece of hot garbage. It'll work for about 30-35 days and then it needs to be hard rebooted, or paired and unpaired, every night to function as advertised. Amazon won't support it properly and doesn't have any fixes coming. Like another poster said, you can deal with the headaches and workarounds to keep it functioning, or use it as a doorstop.

I'd highly advise against purchasing this.
