Because amazon pays it's workers decent wages, offers many items at amazing prices and probably bases it's price on what it needs to not take a loss. Walmart gets special price deals from manufacturers through a process similar to bidding wars...not really good for workers, walmart's or manufacturer's, in fact, this process encourages outsourcing of american jobs. Walmart doesn't offer free shipping on 1 $4.87 item. Sheesh.

They are the same thing. We sell our for $29 currently. Different sellers, different situations. They could have a better deal for being a bigger store.

The way Amazon works is that multiple sellers may have a offer for the same item as well as the description Amazon uses may be from a different seller that does not offer free shipping. You will want to pay attention to the costs you see in pricing section and not in the description. In this case it looks like Amazon offers it with free shipping and there are other sellers that offer it for around the same total price as well. So you can choose who you would like to purchase it from.

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.

That's the way "free shipping" works :) Stores ship in bulk & hence their per piece shipping cost is much lesser.

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.

The item "Ships from and is sold by Amazon". Which in this case means nothing. Since when does Amazon not ship via USPS? Clearly Case Logic and Amazon have their wires crossed and don't care to fix the situation (even after being notified of the problem). Go to Walmart, they have plenty and willing to sell.

The dealer who is selling for $1.93 on Amazon is charging $4.99 shipping. So, it looks like a better deal but it might not be. If you were buying 6 of them at $6.92 that would be $41.52. It does cost more to ship 6 separately than together most times, so we can give a break on selling quantities, and that is why buying 6 together you can actually save almost $4 by buying the larger quantity. You have to look at the shipping costs also in order to see if you are getting a better deal or not. Sellers are really not trying to rip off customers. They are usually trying to give you the convenience of in home shopping and make a little income also. Personally, with the price of transportation right now, I would much rather put my gas money into paying someone to deliver it to my door rather than go from store to store to store, trying to find what I want.

This is still over priced now. Our walmart currently has the kits in stores for $30.00 and online for $45.00. Shipping is free after $50. For what the sellers on Amazon want you could buy TWO from Walmart online and pay nothing to ship.

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.

Amazon has specific rules for product listings. Any product is supposed to get one listing and have options for the colors, sizes, etc. The problem is third party sellers don't follow the rules and Amazon is super slow at policing the listings. The other listings will almost always be more expensive but list a third party seller as the source.

Not sure what Amazon's price was before with freebies, but I gather its price (compared with others on the Amazon site) reflects that the freebies aren't really free. On the 24th Sony Style store was selling it in store for 2200 with free financing options. Not sure about today.

Amazon is a Market Place. Meaning most items are sold by different vendors, which happens to be the case here. Two different sellers equals two different prices. If you need two I would suggest simply buying 2 of the lower priced items from the same seller.

shipping prices is the main reason. Shipping from the manufacturer $25 then shipping to you another $25 makes it hard. The prices on Amazon are actually still about what the old MSRP was even though the price has gone up.

Yes. Sometimes amazon has better pricing and other times not so much. When I purchased mine, Walmart's price was higher.

Wow, glad you mentioned this, I'm thinking of buying this. It's now $85. Amazon's pricing for many items does fluctuate, and sometimes quite a bit. It will likely decrease again, not sure when though. You just have to check for it as often as you can until you catch it.
