Like you said earlier "Why did everyone discontinue it?" i found about 5 different stores and 4 of them said no longer available, i guess if you want to get something thats discontinued the places that will have it will always overcharge you cause they know they are not made anymore/not many places still stock them/if you want it bad enough you will pay for it.

[EDIT] I know it's not as much as yours but i just ordered a ABIT NF7-S rev2.0 here in Australia where it is also discontinued and it will cost me $119.00AD=$92.50USD.
