A part of the problem is not having Amazon themselves selling it, basically only giving ground to those greedy resellers.
I really wish i could pick a model O, since Logitech doesn't make one
Looking at Amazon UK, its priced at 45 GBP, that's 60 USD. I really wish it was a bit cheaper. There is competition.
As someone with experience selling on Amazon, you should be more thankful they DON'T have it, as Amazon's cut is considerable (15% of the total value of the sale) and would only inflate the RRP to compensate. They're no less greedy than the resellers, they just do it further up the chain.
Considering you can buy the mouse, shipped to the UK, for £43.20 right now from their own website, and it'll ship as soon as the company themselves have stock, rather than waiting for it to be produced and then distributed further afield to Amazon's warehouses, I'd *much* rather give my money directly to the company.

Simple vibration dampening methods exist, and the fan could have a simple voltage control wheel discreetly integrated to control the fan speed. Granted, it's a niche market, although there is the fact that these skeletal frame mice have become more popular both for lightness as well as some passive ventilation for palms.
Firstly, there've been mice with fans on before, and they add noticable weight to the mouse to start with. Secondly, the fans are typically way too small to produce the amount of airflow required to really help with the basic problem.
Thirdly, vibration really doesn't work the way you think it does here. Imagine holding a gamepad while the vibration function is active. You wouldn't be able to hold it perfectly still, and if you moved it around, it wouldn't follow a straight line either.
Sure, if you decoupled the motors from the pad's frame, you'd feel less vibration, but the problem with that is that to *effectively* decouple it, you basically need to place the motor on the end of a spring, (Or foam, which acts as a spring in this example) so that the vibrations simply compress or stretch the spring instead of moving the chassis. That requires space to place a spring or foam in, and takes space that inside of a mouse chassis (especially a small one) you simply don't have. There's nowhere to put the amount of foam that would be necessary to make the vibration completely undetectable to the user.
Additionally, even if there were, the foam would block the airflow anyway, making the entire exercise pointless. You're *far* better off just pointing a desk fan at your mousepad on low. It'd be quieter, your mouse would be lighter, and if you were using this mouse, the airflow would still pass through the open shell, just at far greater speed and pressure, making it much more effective.
