HUGE price increase!? Anyone have any idea what prompted the price jump recently?

Yes we've certainly noticed and you're right, the price jump over the past year has been huge. I've taken it off my Subscribe and Save list, now I'm experimenting with Japanese bonito flakes (far more affordable with about 8 grams of protein per serving and almost no sodium) while very much missing this wonderful albacore. That said, who can afford it now? And I'll never go back to the crappy tunas sold in supermarkets, heck no!

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

Why the heck did this go up in price so much?! It was well worth my $25, but I wouldn't pay $60 for it. Yikes.

I was just about to buy a white one and the price jumped to $414! The strange thing is, if you go to the manufacturer's website, is sells for 350 euros. I hope amazon buys a new lot and sells them for a good price.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

I agree. This price increase is ridiculous. The front desk at my vet told me the company was bought out. They actually stopped delivering them to market until they could update the packaging. I wonder if the price increase is due to short supply. Whatever the reason, I can't afford double the price.

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

Sometimes new shipments may have price increases . I work in retail and see this often. Again, it can be some thing entire my different. It is comfortable

I noticed that too. Went up $12 from the last time I purchased this from Amazon - about 6 weeks ago.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

wow it's been a long time, but now the price has shot up immensely to $1800.

dang-I ALMOST grabbed this before Christmas when it was $1599.--then it started going up right after Christmas and then started going down again-of course I thought it would keep going down and now it is rising again--and quickly too. I don't understand it, esp. when the newer Samsungs have been out for awhile, but I guess I'm on the waiting list again!Marty

I've notice the price fluctuating quite a bit over the last year. Keep an eye on it, the price may decrease periodically as well.

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

Yeah, what's with the price hike? These were like $6 or $7 a week ago. Amazon's pricing sucks.
