why does amazon keep changing the price?

I just bought this TV yesterday and noticed it went up a couple $$ today. Don't worry about the timing though because Amazon has price guarantee for 30 days. They'll refund you the difference (is what I've read) if the price goes down within the 30 day time frame.

Agree. This is one of things that annoys me about Amazon. I know I can get the product label somewhere else, but why should I have to do that? Very annoying. Initially, I put up with it because I thought Amazon has the best prices, always, but I've discovered it's not true. For example, l bought this product locally for $8.39 regular price, same size.

From my understanding, Amazon doesn't do price adjustments. But call just in case.

this happens all the time to everyone, dont sweat it! Sometimes things go on sale or Amazon gets a better deal from the manufacturer or they need to get rid of old stock. Don't blame a great company like Amazon for price flutuations...its just the nature of the beast.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

I don't know what Amazon is doing but all the toys I had in my shopping cart priced $15-$20 are now over $100 overnight. What are they doing? Trying to lose customers I think! I'm done with Amazon.

Some Amazon sellers use computer programs to compare other sellers' prices. Most of the time it allows sellers to undercut their competitors' prices by a few cents, but it sometimes leads to bizarre "robot price wars."This item is still a bargain, though, when you consider the CNN story about a textbook that was listed for $23 MILLION after some pricing programs got out of control. http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/04/25/amazon.price.algorithm/

Be sure to call customer service. I have heard that Amazon will not adjust prices even if they change a few hours later.

Vendors (in this case, Canon) sets and adjusts the prices due to supply & demand among a variety of other factors. Fluctuations are normal. Use a price tracker or keep checking back until you find it at a price you want. Amazon does not raise prices based off of your personal views/clicks on a product.I wouldn't count on the price swinging down im the near future (holiday season premium maybe?)

The price is not amazons. (you can see the store name above the add it to cart button).Amazon allows private sellers to list on there, whether it is a store or just someone selling it from home. Amazons fees for listing a product are so high, that's why i think they listed it for so much. I would check on ebay, they are selling for $49.99 on there right now.

Our prices on Amazon are constantly fluctuating and it's based on a variety of things, such as rank, competitive sellers, etc.Let us know if you have any further questions.Thanks.

Agreed. It is something that happens now and again on Amazon. We have no control when this sort of pricing strategy happens. Good luck, The Afternoon

I have always liked shopping at Amazon but these price changes make shopping difficult. Within a short time, I have seen the price go from $17 to $25 then down to $19 and up to $28 today. How can I shop at a site where the price can change by over 60% in a matter of days?

i've found prices jump around on amazon based on how many times i browse items. maybe it's some clever data-tracking way to monitor my browsing and then coerce me to purchase a particular item because of fear the price is going to continue to increase, but also maybe it's just difference in suppliers as amazon draws from different suppliers for many products. are you sure the supplier is the same at $87 as the supplier was for your first purchase?

Concerning the comment about cancelling your order... ~ I have never had to cancel an order and re-order to get the changed price; Amazon has always adjusted the cost to me and notified me by email of said cost adjustment.

I posted this information to Amazon weeks ago, and they said they would change it. I have no idea why they have not made the change yet.

Ordered last weekend for $29 - had been $38. Free shipping, too from Amazon. As to fluctuating prices - when you order something from Amazon, even if your order has shipped & is already in transit to you & you see a price drop - just contact Amazon.,com Customer Service & they will adjust the price for you. Be polite, since complaining or using less than complimentary language about the pricing event won't get you what you want.
