On sale for $83.50 at Amazon right now. Only the ERGObaby Original, Black with Camel lining. DH has been really on the fence about spending over $100 on a carrier, so this works out great! I'd have personally preferred the pretty grey one with the stars (or even the black with the stars) but they weren't on sale, and DH grumbled at the "girlyness" of them besides. Silly man.
Anyway, thought I'd share!

Good deal! FYI, they have them on nobetterdeal.com pretty often--we got ours for around $70. I checked and there aren't any Ergos at the moment, but they update stock pretty frequently.

Going to check it out now since we're on the look out for an ergo carrier. Thanks for sharing!
@tororojo: Thanks for the tip! I'm going to have to keep my eye on that site then!

I have the same issue with the girly patterns and DH. He really wants to be able to wear the baby a lot so I'm already designed that I'll be getting something sort of boring. Plus we are team green and I probably wouldn't put a boy into a pretty purple one or something (we are looking at the Beco Gemini which comes in lots of fun but girly prints)

@tororojo: Oh I didn't even think to check there!
@Foodnerd81: To be fair he almost always insists on wearing DS a ton when we're out together.

@FutureMrsMcK: It's one of the baby things he is most excited about (wearing him or her) so I'm really not complaining about not being able to have a pretty one! We are both actually looking forward to that-- which means we will probably have a baby who hates it.

@FutureMrsMcK: i saw this too but i'm kind of nervous about buying it from amazon after reading some of the posts on here. the actual seller is think fast toys. do you think they're legit?

@kokobee: Well...shit. I didn't even consider that. I guess I'll wait and see?

@wheres_c: I'm hoping it's legit and this post didn't get you to buy a fake

I got a good deal on a black organic one on Gilt.com $72.00 plus shipping! They were on there for a little bit - not sure if they are on there often though... We just got it in the mail yesterday 
I was so tempted to get one with the cute patterns but went with the plain black so that DH could use it too

@FutureMrsMcK: i didnt buy from the link/amazon i was just xcited that i got it and thought id mention it

@kokobee: Well I just received it, and I'm almost positive it's legit. The box, logo colors, warning labels, etc are all right. I'm using this site as a guide: http://thehumbledoula.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/how-to-spot-a-fake-ergo-baby-carrier/
(although I have the black). It's back up to $99 on Amazon, though.
ETA: Except the warning label can be peeled off....probably not a good sign, lol.

hope this isn't thread jacking or anything - but on target's daily deals, it looks like the deal for saturday is a carrier that appears really similar to the Ergo. I can't get a close enough photo to tell what carrier it is, though. worth checking out!

@FutureMrsMcK: yay! glad to hear that it's legit. $99 is still a good deal.
wait, is the warning label suppose to be stitched on???
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@kokobee: Yes, I think so. It's stuck over another label that's sewn on. And the buckle that is supposed to say Stealth does not say Warrior like the other fakes tend to, it doesn't say anything--has two oval holes instead. Everything else seems legit, the sewing is perfect, there's a serial number on the tag, the box is right, the colors on the label tag logo thing are right...I don't really know what to think, actually. If it's a fake it's an incredibly convincing one.

@FutureMrsMcK: Wow-- that counterfeit was really, really good.

@FutureMrsMcK: maybe you can call ergo customer service and see if they can verify the serial number?
