I was offered to get glass in one of the initial "exclusive" waves. I turned it down due to having seen the estimates on how much the physical hardware costs to produce and speculation that it may be $500 when actually released to market.

If you buy Google glass you are just handing money to Google right now.

In my opinion Google is intentionally killing off the consumer version of glass in recognition that they can and will continue to be able to overcharge certain groups of people for it.
