For the past several weeks, we have been working to remedy the constrained supply issues at Amazon.com as well as working to bring additional on-line merchants with available inventory of OBi200, OBi202, OBi212, OBiWiFi5G and OBi phones.
On behalf of our marketplace partner, we apologize for the lack of supply (we have plenty in our warehouse) and are working to get the situation fixed asap.
So how's that been working for ya? It's been over 5 weeks now. I can buy one from NewEgg that ships from China for $130. Where's that "magical inventory" at?
Ya...it's slowly working out. No magic needed...just some 5th grade ability to do a search on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/polycom-2200-49522-001-accessories/p/N82E16833617016?Description=obi202&cm_re=obi202-_-33-617-016-_-Product
Or Newegg selling on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Polycom-2200-49522-001-VoIP-Telephone-Adapter-with-2-Phone-Ports-Router-USB/293418165419?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Wow prices on these things have jumped!
Not sure there's a good use for them anymore, SIP and Google Voice work just fine directly on mobile phones via apps with the added advantage of being mobile and being able to use them over LTE data. I still have my OBI200 (and OBI100) but lost interest in "playing" with them. When they stop working they won't get replaced. Even the phone attached to it is a 15 yr old Panasonic that needs new (rechargeable) batteries. It's a race which piece dies first so I can unplug them all. Maybe I should just put them on ebay.

At least put that OBi on eBay. You'll make 3 times the money you initially paid for it brand new. :o
OBiSupport:
The OBi200 (sold by Obihai Technology) is back on sale at $49.99 with free shipping.

I guess I picked the right time to sell my OBi202. It’s listed on eBay right now and I couldn’t understand why the bids were so high. This explains it.
