Per Amazon I can get 100 for $22. But why isn't this guy getting them from Amazon? On the one hand, this looks fishy. On the other hand, easy money baby.

Different glucose meter manufacturers use different strips. A 100 count box of One Touch Ultra test strips is approx $100.

If you're lucky your insurance covers the majority of the cost. If not then you spend a ton of money on test strips and lancets. I can definitely see someone buying people's "extras" to resell.

Odds are the ones you're seeing on amazon for that price are not one of the bigger meter manufacturers.
