Sure, there are cheaper versions available out there... they're knock off clones made by Chinese companies, but they weren't able to clone the patented timer mechanism (not just because the patent was stopping them, but because they couldn't figure out the ingenious design), and so you would get detonations that would occur the moment you let go of the grenade, or could take 30 seconds... or would just plain NEVER detonate. They are too unpredictable.
But, as the OP stated, more people can afford them... so then why don't people buy them? Because they're crap!
You get what you pay for, and apparently, people are willing to shell out $100 a pop for these bad boys...
