Woot price is $420.63 +tax with free shipping for Prime members (fulfilled by Amazon). Amazon's current price is $598, and the Camels say that it touched $516 for a day or two earlier this year but normally sells for $550-700.

I saw that too. The review I saw said that the guy had approximately 65 hours and was estimating about 150 hours before the wheel wear would become an issue... I figure if I can sustain use of it long enough to start wearing out parts, then it's a worthwhile purchase and I'll deal with sourcing a replacement seat. I may also feel around for any burrs or rough spots and try to smooth them out before they start chewing up the wheels. The Amazon reviews didn't seem to indicate that as a common issue, but there were some other parts that I'm slightly more concerned about based on those reviews (screen, chain).

For the price I think it's still a really solid purchase. Most machines under $1000 seem to have a shortcut somewhere. Even the Concept 2 machines that are built like tanks have to be oiled regularly and have parts that require replacement over time.

Also, the most common negative feedback from Amazon was that the customer service did not respond. So the warranty doesn't mean much if they don't reply and service.

Woot has 90 day limited warranty on this, so not too bad
