Ours was much less than $100 - more like $60 I think. Not sure how it's working on the egrets, but it does scare crows off the pond and we get entertainment out of it, too! If it doesn't work, we'll have to string fishing line across the pond and see if that works.

Glad you saved some cash on yours. The online retailers I looked at must have been a little high-endish - I thought $100 was a bit much for such a device.

If it wasn't so important, we wouldn't have purchased it at all. The egrets scare our parrots to death, because they fly in towards the windows of the house. With that wing spread, it looks like an airplane coming in! We originally built the pond with water fowl in mind, but didn't realize some of the problems we would have (we were prepared to lose fish).
