could be. I bought mine for $1460 shipped through a top-rated seller on ebay back in January. I'm glad that it's still not even $100 cheaper 4 months later.

Demand was outpacing supply. So they raised the price to decrease the demand. ECON 101It's working for me, they can keep it. No way I'm paying 30 bucks for this.

I have been following this item and pricing too. I was wondering what caused the price to just double. It must be an error.

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

That's actually pretty cheap. Usually on these sets, the jump from 46" to 52" is $400 or more. Right now, the 52" set seems to be priced much lower than before. I ordered mine last night after hoping it would drop in price as the Superbowl nears.

For three hundred I can hold for a while. It would be nice for the super bowl but the old will be fine for a while. That was to big of a jump!! The way that people watch and study on this size of an investment, this has to hurt there sales. I think they have been going to the gas station to long and now they think they can gouge us too. I hope it comes down soon, it a good looking TV.

I noticed the same thing! Came back to buy 2 for my 2 boys and was surprised at the price difference. Hoping it drops again in time for Christmas!

Might drop *after* the Super Bowl. That's what I'm counting on. Prices have been going mostly up since Xmas. I'm waiting till after the game to get the 1080p plasma model. And a blue-ray player.

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony

The price on this has been going up and down since they debuted it, I hope I secured the $379.20 price by preordering it but I had also seen it at $398.20, $449.00 then to $379.20 then back up so who knows what it will be next week. :)

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance. Chuck

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.

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.
