OLD Libre 2 stock

A friend works at a pharmacy and said they can still buy the old ones from one of their providers, but the OLD items are still selling for $150/160. This is a mega con because via the website direct its like $102 for the new 2+ version.

I would have thought these discontinued ones to avaliable at a MUCH LOWER price while the old stock got sold off. Anyone know anything more about this? I dont mind using the old 2 instead of the 2+ but I would like a substantial discount thanks. More specifically in my situation, I am T1 but I have a best mate who is T2 and I would love to help him find a reasonable supply of these even if it was only for 6 months.

Thoughts?
