And how is it that Amazon can advertise the Huffy Green Machine (green, full size) @ $79.99 and when I receive it, it's a Green Machine Mini 16"... then when I call customer service I'm told they'd be "happy" to refund me the purchase price and return shipping cost, and then they'd be happy to sell me the same one I had purchased at $79.99 for $249!!?? This is definitely false advertising... bait and switch. I've trusted Amazon until now... it remains to be seen how they'll handle this situation because I'm waiting for a reply from customer service. I hope they make it right by sending me the item I purchased for the price they had advertised when I purchased it.

Same thing happened to me....contacted Amazon and they told me to resolve it with the seller. I'm calling AMEX to dispute....the payee is listed as AMAZON, isn't it their responsibilty to resolve? I will not be doing business with Amazon again.

This is a problem with Amazon. They force sellers to use prefomatted ads. Amazon is a very controlling format to work with. I suspect that at one time as a special Omega had the grass growing kits as a Christmas promotional. A lot of these probably sold and Amazon made this ad there standard format for everyone to use. I am sure the grass kits no longer come with the item..........but getting Amazon to change the ad...................well we all just have better things to do than spend 8 to 10 hours trying to get them to change something.

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

Cancelled my order and purchased from another site. Why is Amazon so shady about this?**Edit**Cancelled the order on the other site and purchased at a brick and mortar store for $279.99 (Micro Center in St. Louis, MO). Very happy.

i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out... » Read More i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. « Show Less

http://bingocameras.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=19&products;_id=452I'd love to order from Amazon but even with free shipping and my Rewards, I can't justify the $70.00 difference

I missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

I agree--way too risky to take my chances with my hard-earned money--but an INTRIGUINGLY good deal for the few who received it. this is for AMAZON: "Could you please FIX this so that the same product is sent to all PAYERS??? What is your problem, Amazon, that something with so many negative reviews out so few reviews is not being fixed in OVER TWO YEARS? Since you, Amazon, are considered an INDIVIDUAL under the Supreme Court, what is your excuse for being so dishonest with at least 50 percent of the customers trying to purchase this product AS ADVERTISED?

Because of the way Amazon is structured and the process required to offer any discounts for orders, it does not make sense to offer additional discounts on this product. I realize that may sound crazy, but I literally will lose more money then I will earn. I am sorry, perhaps someone else is in need or willing to work for a few pennies. If so, I wish you the best. Unfortunately I can't afford to offer a lower price than listed.

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!

Too many people saying this. It is literally false advertisement and Fraud. Amazon do something about this!!!

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

I tried to report a lower price on http://www.highrollerusa.com/ and Amazon says it's not a real URL :-) (that's where they make them-).

There are several sellers of this product on http://amazon.com. Who had it marked for that price? Our price shows 70.39.

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.
