300$
I ordered one for $300 a couple of weeks ago :(
Still worth it at $300!

#42Seems like the deal's over. I've now hit the homepage ~50 times with a new incognito window each time and the price was always $299. Too bad, it would've been nice.
No, it's still working. I just bought two for $49.

#43Has anyone done this? If so, was it worth it?
I did 23andme a year or two ago. I found out I have a really boring genome. No real diseases or unexpected ancestry (I guess I was secretly hoping I was adopted from Russian/Jewish royalty or martians or something?).
It's certainly worth $49 to me to know this (I think I paid $99 under a FNF deal a while ago; I know one of the founders, who is awesome and a great entrepreneur).

#44Maryland customers not allowed.
Yeah, just noticed this when I saw the reasonable $49 price. Really sucks.

#45As far as I can tell, this is just their usual SNP array product. Wake me up when they offer $49 for 30x coverage.

Fyi, I just received the offer.

#47Maybe I've been watching too much Dexter, but isn't this a law enforcement agency's dream? Never again will they fail to get a match on DNA, just subpoena 23andme and competitors.
Right?

#48Wow, they are charging $115 shipping to Australia for two kits.
To be fair, the charge includes both shipping the kits to you and for you to ship the kits back to them, so the price isn't as bad as it looks. But I do agree with you that it can be lower.
And customs duties. They are not trying to gouge you, AFAIK.

#49Wow, they are charging $115 shipping to Australia for two kits.
To be fair, that is for return shipping on two kits (you have to send the kit back to them for testing).
That said, hopefully they do some A/B testing on shipping prices next ;)

#50I thought it was interesting that I saw the full price flash on the screen briefly before I saw my discounted price so I looked into the JS and sure enough they are swapping out offer urls that look like this: /special_offer/49NOV2012/?json=true
