Well, a google search reveals that Amazon has it for $400, list at $700. Same for Crutchfield, though they list at $800. I'd say that it a sale, but not quite the deal of the century.

Audioholics has a thread from an owner that replaced a velodyne and was happy with the improvement:

For $299 its not a bad sub and it gets you something that will go fairly low however 23Hz is still a bit high for my liking. For just a bit more you can get yourself abetter SVS PB10 NSD and its frequency response is 20-100Hz
