I had no idea about why Massdrop mentioned that the original price is $200.
From the Swiss Diamond website, the price is $149

LazyRilakkumaWe get this question often. MSRP is set by manufacturers to act as the celling for pricing of a particular item, it is there to protect the consumers from price gouging and create margin for distributers. We list MSRP as the original price because it will always be the same (at least for the year) and when an item does well we want to run the same drop again without having to remake the page. Manufacturers can sell on their site for whatever price they like, and are not obligated to list at MSRP. Most of the time when you see a discrepancy on the original price listed on Massdrop and the price listed on a manufacturers website, it is because the manufacturer is listing at MAP (minimum advertised price). Almost everything we list on MD is below MAP and the reason this works is because we are running group buys then placing large orders, so the MD members are paying what are essentially distributer prices. I hope this information was helpful.
