... They also have 1 with 4 cartridges for 80.00 and the mini cricut cake for 85.00. I don't know why but they do. the sale doesn't last long though.
I got mine not long after they first came out for $300. So I got the $40 one as a cheap back-up. For that price, why not?? My shipping was only $10, and I got the machine and a few cartridges. I can't believe the low price, I hope it's legit!
Thanks petiterouge! I double checked after you posted and my computer must not have loaded all the way the first time because it would only allow me to choose priority mail at $43! I just ordered the $40 machine, the elegant cake cartridge, and the longer mats and "home delivery" shipping was only $18. I'm keeping the cartridge and the mats, but now I have a christmas present for my sister! Thanks rc for posting this!! 
Thanks rc! I just ordered mine, and a few cartridges. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Please be aware that they require a monthly fee after a two day free trial to browse and order. Other than that, sounds like a great deal.
How It Works:
A Paper Crafting Professional pays just $9.99 each month and has access to the whole Cricut line of products and other manufacturers products at or below wholesale price. We even give you a FREE 2 day trial to browse the website and order immediately. Most companies have stringent requirements to become a wholesaler, including high minimum orders. We have no minimum orders and enrolling is simple and affordable.
What are the catches? None- we make sure you know everything up front. You just pay a monthly subscription for only $9.99 a month and you can cancel at any time. It's just that straight forward and easy. You can order as often or as little as you wish. The shipping charges are at our cost, so we pass off our shipping discounts with UPS and USPS directly to you.
Check the FAQ. As soon as I saw your post i was like uh oh but then I read some more and came across this:
: How does the Free 2 Day Trial work?
A: When you first sign up to be a paper crafting pro you get a free 2 day trial during which time you can see prices and placed orders. After 2 days the free trial automatically expires, you will not be charged or be subscribed unless you log into your account again and create the subscription and pay the monthly membership fee of $9.99
Wow, this seems like a great deal - I need to consider ordering one as a backup to mine.
