Why did the price of the identical Miller Aeron chair increase about 150.00 within a week--just before Xmas?

Hello Kurt,Thank you for contacting Office Designs. The price increase was due to the end of Herman Miller's semi-annual sale. Unfortunately, it ended on December 12th. The chairs may also go up another $20.00 due to a price increase by the end of January. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.Best Regards,Office Desings Customer Care Team

I've heard good things about SquareTrade but are they going to require you to ship the broken chair at your expense? That's the key question. If they don't require that, it's clearly worth it, for any chair. Even if it turns out to be worthless, it would be worth $20 to me just to get experience with SquareTrade to find out why people recommend them. And I've never had any office chair whose gas cylinder didn't loosen up and make the chair wobbly within a year or two. Would that be covered? It would be interesting to find out.

It wasn't, when I purchased ours. I don't know what it's selling for now, but ours started at $2600, and we watched it slowly go down over several weeks. It hit $1900 for a day or so, then began to rise. I purchased it at $2350. Amazon lets the prices "float", for some marketing reason. Great TV, corner mounted...makes me smile just walking into the room!

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part. I guess January has become gouge month or something.

Given my satisfaction with 2 of these chairs, I would have bought them at $100 more. Having said that, I would qualify it by saying if the original price was a hundred more than what we paid, yes I would have paid it. Having seen the price go up a hundred overnight, would certainly give me pause.

It is going for 150 now it looks like?! I have one here at home in perfect condition- I should sell it lol

I have to agree there is something afoot here. I bought what I thought was table and chairs and discovered later that price was for the table alone; the photo doesnt change from offer to offer and I had been watching the ads for a chance to buy at a good price. If the table was a problem, I now own 8 chairs for exactly the same reason. Who says lightning wont strike twice? Friends convinced me not to make a fuss and to distribute the chairs through out my home, which Ive done. The day I bought my chairs they were selling for 223.00 for 2 chairs. However, everyone here thought that was a good price to pay for two of these extrordinary chairs.

I'm not the seller, but I too owned and briefly even SOLD the Alpine product years ago. The Alpine business model (was then) basically a MLM co. So the price was High / Set A distributor couldn't really sell it for less than the set price. ~150 is the 'new' going price for units like this one as more competitors are selling, and more directly via sites like Amazon and other global marketplaces.

I had the product code tag from Office Max and when I looked at Amazon, it was the same chair. I was looking to buy one locally for my son at college but there was no local Office Max. Found it on Amazon, same chair, less expensive, no tax and delivered.

Hi there! Much of our pricing has to do with supply and demand. Before Christmas, we need to keep adjusting the prices to our stock levels to avoid getting out of stock during the busiest season of the year. Also, as most business do, we try to lower the prices a lot just after Christmas, to also stay competitive during the post-holiday sales. Since the black set has been our most popular, the pricing is a bit higher to keep it from going out of stock too quickly. Hope that helps! If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

I noticed this same price difference when I bought mine about 11 months ago.I found my chair to be very good quality and function. I am glad I bought this one.

I'm curious too. I was researching this seat at various forums and it looks like the price once dropped to $199.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

Thank you for contacting us. Due to the price increase from the manufacturer we had to go up on our price as well. I am sorry.

Exact same chair, exact same price under me except for some reason Amazon has shipping a few cents higher on one of them.

I purchased this from Nebraska Furniture Mart for $1109 on 12/31/2009. I did check their site and it has gone back up to $1599. While I was looking at it after getting the tkt for it, someone else wanted it and they were out of stock. I hope it's ok because it's staying in the box until I move to Dallas~
