List Price: $47.99...NO Way... Why does Amazon state that it is $47.99?

Amazon sometimes gets carried away with their list prices - I've seen T-shirts with a list price of $1,999 but 'discounted' and selling for $5

Um, there is. Amazon is listing it for $4.50, fifty cents cheaper than on the alternate sites you mentioned. If there was once an incorrect price, it's been fixed.

Same here... Amazon has been out of stock for weeks so the other, third-party vendors prices are crazy. I found it at Walmart for $5.95 for a box of four. So that $1.48ea vs. $1.41ea @ $17/box.

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

Amazon doesn't price match. Put it in your cart and check it daily. the price will go down to $55 or so.

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

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?)

When you ask a question like this, it shows up on ALL listings of this item, not just the one you saw for over $40. Looks kind of silly to see this question when the price is less than $20, and free shipping with Amazon Prime. These questions should be about the product itself, not individual sellers.

One place on amazon has it listed at 19.99 and one has it listed for $89. The item numbers and all the details are the same. Am I missing something?

They cancelled my order today. I bought mine for 99.99, and it's up for sale for $129 now. So it's available but just not at the price they quoted me weeks ago??!?!? What the hell? Thanks Amazon for making my Xmas shopping more complicated!

I asked Amazon the same question 1-2 years ago when it listed an Illy espresso machine higher than the MSRP and showed a "discount," resulting in a price that was still higher than the full MSRP! Amazon's response was that its list prices were proprietary and should not be confused with MSRPs. Personally, I feel this is a misleading practice since almost everyone associates the "full" or "regular" price with MSRP, not, say 120% of MSRP. As a result, Amazon's "discounted" prices are sometimes higher than the full MSRP.

Now 1/25/2014, it's back to $23.50 ?? Feel free to correct me, but I understand Amazon has a pricing algorithm that determines price...

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.

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

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.
