Am I missing something here?

Square Readers free [1]

Heckler Design WindFall iPad Stand $129.99 (free shipping) [2]

APG Vasario 1616 Cash Drawer $102.18 (free shipping) [3]

I don't understand why I would pay $66.83 for the convenience of having these items shipped to me in a pretty box.

One word: convenience. People will pay to have them give them everything they need up front, instead of researching or finding it themselves.

Not to mention support. You don't want to have your system flake out and then find out your vendor won't support you because you bought the wrong cash drawer.
