Here's a more recent C&EN story about liquid helium prices that mentions a buying cooperative formed by ACS and the American Physical Society:
http://cen.acs.org/articles/93/i28/Helium-Price-Spikes-Hurting-Academic.html

Info on the purchasing cooperative:

And another C&EN piece on liquid helium recycling:

There was a piece on Helium in C&EN

Volume 91 Issue 5, pp. 18-19

Issue Date: February 4, 2013; Web Date: February 5, 2013

http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i5/Coping-Helium-Shortage.html

I'm guessing that much of the cost of liquid helium goes into the energy it takes to bring the temperature down to the liquid phase (4K!).

Isn't it because helium gets rarer?

Objet : [DCHAS-L] Cost of liquid helium

Hello. I am hoping for a reality check. What are you all paying for 60 liters of liquid helium? I thought prices were to begin falling a couple years ago. Ours just went to $2300.

Am I being scammed?
