why does the price go up if amazon doesnt have it

The Amazon price of the vsx-1018ah has gone up from $439 with free shipping from 6th ave electronics in December to $649 today from Amazon. According to Cnet (link below), Pioneer's new and improved vsx-1019 with USB plugin for ipod/iphone and improved handling of compressed music, 4 HDMI inputs, and a full onscreen color GUI command display will retail for $499 and be released in April (presummably just after Amazon says it's $649 vsx-1018ah will become available). This price rise must be retailers trying to take advantage of the current shortage of 1018s. The $649 gouging price must be directed at uninformed or compulsive customers -- don't let them get away with it, wait for the 1019 in April. http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers/pioneer-vsx-1019ah-k/4505-6466_7-33496205.html

Because prices on Amazon constantly fluctuate. The main provider can and do change their prices based upon numerous things/ What you do is put the item of interest in your cart. Then check your cart once a day. It often goes down. But you find if you are patient it goes down even further. It's the Amazon price game. They are not in control of all these things. Maybe some. It really is a game for your patience and guessing. Like gambling with you $20. I've left things sit in my cart for months!

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

There shouldnt be. Amazon prices go up and down. I bought an orbweaver a while back that would fluctuate in price by as much as 30 dollars over a week.

I don't know... Usually it takes longer for Amazon to update prices but this card is definitely worth it

Vendors (in this case, Canon) sets and adjusts the prices due to supply & demand among a variety of other factors. Fluctuations are normal. Use a price tracker or keep checking back until you find it at a price you want. Amazon does not raise prices based off of your personal views/clicks on a product.I wouldn't count on the price swinging down im the near future (holiday season premium maybe?)

the 1999 price was from 6th Ave and maybe also from Amazon itself, I noticed this as well. The other sellers had it marked higher, so when 6th ave and or amazon sold out the only ones available were higher. (Amazon did not change the price).

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.

Because Amazon doesn't have a fixed price system. Just get whatever you find cheaper.

Thanks for your question! Amazon works toward maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry. In some cases our website offers lower prices via the used and new offerings available from Amazon Marketplace sellers. For more information, go to our help page on Ordering from a Seller here:

It's hard to tell. Amazon sporadically raises and lowers prices on 99.9 percent of their products. If it goes down grab it immediately, because if you wait five minutes it may go back up.

Due to shortage in inventory , distributors have raised the price. it should be back in stock soon and then the price will go down again

Amazon didnt sell you the unit. You got it from a 3rd party that sells on amazon. Hence this is why you guys cant price match. Always make sure it says IN STOCK AND SOLD BY AMAZON.COM. Under the price.

Hi Jane! Sometimes a third seller on here will place an item at a higher cost if amazon or a "fullfiled" by Amazon 2nd party is not available. This is economically cause of supply and demand of the item in question, for ex: if there is low supply a seller may up the price depending on the expected demanded volume for incoming orders. Other reasons include that there is no other sellers offering a lower price point competitively. I hope this helps :)

Every time I look at this the price goes up. Apparently Amazon doesn't stop price gouging. I certainly won't buy this at this price when Dollar General, Wal*Mart and other local stores carry it for $1.00 a bottle, all varieties. It WAS a good deal when the price was much lower. The silence of the seller on this topic speaks volumes.

Be sure to call customer service. I have heard that Amazon will not adjust prices even if they change a few hours later.

I would guess Christmas + last minute shopping = jacked up Amazon price. I've had several things from my wish list increase, especially if they're from third party sellers.
