I was at my local Kmart store and noticed this particular Ab Lounge item marked down 60% (according to it's "Clearance tag" price. It was $149, now marked at $60.)
It was sitting by itself, opposite side of the aisle from the other exercise equipment. Kinda out-of-place.
So I wheeled it over to the price scanner and the item scanned at just $15.
(I didn't want one, but I had a friend who had been looking to get one, so I bought it).
I only found the one ab lounge, (since I only needed one for my friend, I did not bother to search for any more of them).
Whether it's used as an ab exerciser, or just a lounge chair; the price sure is right.
However, unless you are hopelessly flabby, you can quickly become bored with this machine as there is no way to add resistance. The alternative is to just do ever-larger numbers of reps, which lost its appeal for me once I got above 100 repetitions on my Ab-Lounge.

......"Quickly become bored" is an accurate description. I can't think of anyone that bought one and actually used it more than 2 weeks or so.
Luckily these are a very versatile item.
I notice that after about a week, maybe two, these have a tendenacy to become one of the following:
- laundry/clothes lounge - mail lounge - cat lounge - dog lounge -misc housewares lounge
