BAD seller using Amazon to sell its products? Why would the price Jump as soon you browse?

Again, there are several sellers so you would have to contact that particular seller.

I think Amazon has confused me with the person who sold a product on their site. I have never sold anything on any site. I have purchased a brand new computer through Amazon and encountered my own issues with its arrival and a lot of other issues. I truly wish that Amazon would get their facts and records straight. If I ever get another false email representing or stating that I sold a product on their site I WILL SUE THEM. This is ridiculous!!! Please check with Amazon again and let them know that this DEBORAH never sold anything on their website. I hope you find the answers that you need regarding the product that you purchased (as it was not from me) I think Amazon has confused me with the person who sold a product on their site.

The price is not amazons. (you can see the store name above the add it to cart button).Amazon allows private sellers to list on there, whether it is a store or just someone selling it from home. Amazons fees for listing a product are so high, that's why i think they listed it for so much. I would check on ebay, they are selling for $49.99 on there right now.

Because Amazon's prices like any retailer are not written in stone. You see a nice deal, get it when you see it.

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 :)

Probably because whoever you bought it from was tired of losing money and going out of business. A lot of "sellers" on Amazon think that a cheaper price will bring them more business and eventually go broke.

Likely, what you are seeing are different sellers with different item names but the same product. Amazon has 3rd party sellers on their website. They can create their own listings and prices.

Look on the site camelcamelcamel dot com; it tracks the prices on Amazon. You'll see that they go up and down often, sometimes dramatically.

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

it's because amazon is awesome, not sure if you've realized. But its an old stereo four years or so. items decrease in value after a while, smaller retailers have less product and thus they need to sell if for more in order to make a profit. Also amazon buys directly from companies and companies sell directly through amazon so they are usually trying to more product especially when its an older product like this. retailers might have to buy through a 2nd or 3rd supplier and thus again they need to sell at a higher price to make the same profit. There is also shipping prices where online you pay for from the manufacture or amazon's warehouse. it's because amazon is awesome, not sure if you've realized.

Because amazon sellers may have older inventory. I purchased used inventory and resell it.

The only logic involved is how best to maximize the seller's profit. By charging a penny for the item and eight bucks shipping, sellers avoid paying commission to Amazon. (which presumably charges commission only on the selling price and not the shipping cost) It also makes it less likely the customer will return the item for a refund, since shipping costs are usually not refundable. I quit shopping at eBay when this started becoming common. It's a real shame to see Amazon's sellers adopting such a sleazy practice.

Agree- price gouging and Amazon should take the high road and disallow it. Gouging is taking advantage of supply restraints by raising the price artificially. Doesn't have anything to do with if you actually buy or not to be gouging. It is gouging by definiton. Look it up. But don't give em the satisfaction. Wait, be patient and shortly they will be everywhere. You have survived all this time w/out one-you can wait another month or two. Trust me, by then they will be easy to get. Why? Cuz a whole bunch more are coming down the pike and the wow factor of this one will diminish. Wait til Amazon announces their own quad-core one here shortly or when Samsung's sweet tablet hits the street, etc etc. I too would like to try one of these, but after seeing more than one review mention the case quality being poor and the unit actually separating where the front and back meet, I am skeptical. Thus, why I want to buy from someone like Amazon who has a liberal return policy. Could have bought one today at newegg no problem, but with a nonrefundable return policy-no way. They are out there, but buyer beware is what I say. I'm babbling...out.

Haha, happens to me too often. Now, I use camelcamelcamel (dot) com, they are basically a website that tracks prices. You can copy the url or address of the product page and copy and paste into this website and it tracks the amazon price jumps for up to a year or so, tells you when the best time to buy is and how low the item can actually go. Cheers!

Yes it seems something has changed with Amazon, maybe the management ,someone trying to make a name for him or herself, but i tell you what , Netflix recently raised all their prices and lost customers and their stock went down significantly!Love Amazon and am hoping these high prices are temporary as some sort of an experiment, but i can say this, in the past month Amazon has been the highest price on almost everything when i compare prices.

Some sellers spam listings with "bulk" items, not intending to actually compete on price. (Maybe hoping someone will just buy the larger, more expensive listing?) Now, if the manufacturer actually made those sizes, it'd make sense...but they don't. The sellers just multiply the smaller sizes so they can have extra listings, a.k.a. spam.Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't seem to care, even though it makes navigating much harder for us customers. You'll see the same few sellers doing it over and over in the same categories, sometimes listing a dozen different "sizes" of an item!
