you asked about why prices is lower,i tried to place a order for a xti, and was somewhere around $299, just for body, they if you buy a kit it was more , about $800 depends on kit, then the surprise, they tell you , well you need this and that and the battery they send only last a 1/2 hour, and a flash card etc, etc, by the time all was said and done the price was up to $1,300. if you order, know what you are getting, not what your hoping you will get.not saying all is bad, just have them what repeat what they aare sending and know what you need.

Shopcart USA is a fraudulent company with numerous phony store listings, that in reality are scams.

If your thinking about buying any electronics online (with the exception of amazon.com) I would strongly suggest that you visit this site www.resellerratings.com there are a lot of problems!! Penny wise dollar foolish!

i almost bought a kit today , but I called the business 1st. was told obvious lies re: lenses, which i confirmed with a sales rep @ our local camera store. Something told me to look @ Ripoffreport.com, which when I did turned up hundreds of fraud reports on @ least 20 companies whose websites I looked at, had considered buying from, and are often alias names. The stories are terrible! Also th New York Post did an article and Pc Online did an article on these camera sellers scams.

Colorful items sells what appears to be the same machine for 3 or more prices.The descriptions used differ slightly but the machines look to be the same.If go to thier website they only sell one machine and its $250so why are there machines here on amazon for $175?

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.

TMart...I just got one today and paid less than 1.50! I've been using everything else until the price finally came down here!�Yeah! It'll take a while to get it, but what the heck, at least I didn't pay 7 bucks!

I'm not sure if there is an exact way to compare prices directly, between Amazon and local retailers. All you can really do is double check the item stats (model number, etc.) and go from there --- compare the prices on your own.

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-).

Thanks Sharon! Great tips! I, too've used the 'save for later' method, which does give you price updates, but only when you add something to cart and only until you leave the page...and good luck actually FINDING anything you saved, like you said! There's not even a search feature! It's page-by-page or NADA!

I bought three for around $16 each on Amazon. I think they fluctuate the price because some folks add them to their Save For Later list in their shopping carts and wait for the prices to drop. Vendors change the price all the time so the notifications pop up in the cart indicating the price change. I agree with the others, challenge the price with Amazon. At worst, they'll probably have you send the one you have back as a return and let you buy again at the listed price (and hope it stays low!).

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 used my friend's that she bought at the mall amd it prompted me to search for one online. She's still ticked off years later that she paid so much and me so little. Since I have also bought one for my daughter. Had them for years without any problems. My friend and I couldn't find anything different. So as long as people buy them for that much,they will sell them but you are smart enough you found a better deal :)

I completely agree!! In the middle of the day, I phoned home from work to have my mom buy it for me, but she couldn't find it, and couldn't find it. So, I chalked it up to her being unable to find it, and come to find out when I got home, it was "SOLD OUT" but is still available for the price of $22.97...I'm not normally one to complain, but out of the hundreds of thousands of items they have on their site, you'd think they could control the handful they put up for sale on Cyber Monday. :(

I checked out on Amazon, and there're at least 3 different listings - they should all be the same, so the price is whether it's from Amazon directly, fulfilled by Amazon or an external vendor. I'd just go with the lowest cost one, through Amazon.

Sorry I cannot give you the name of the store of where to find it cheaper. Last time I did that my post was blocked. It's at the biggest retail store is all I can say.

Melissa, I am not sure why there is such price disparity. Usually that indicates hat the particular Yummy Stuffer (alligator here) might be in low supply. I say, "Buy it at Target!" if you can get it for $20 there and shop at Amazon next time - It is my favorite place for shopping - so easy!!My son LOVES this Alligator Tummy Stuffer, by the way. He's 6. It fits an amazing amount of toys - I was pleasantly surprised.Susan

I SAW IT CHEAPER ALSO. I WOULD LIKE TO BUY FROM AMAZON BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A RETURN POLICY IF DEFECTIVE. THATS MY ONLY WORRY. OTHER ONLINE SELLERS HAVE IT CHEAPER BUT NO RETURN POLICY IF DEFECTIVE.
