Did you give it a one star review complaining about the deal like the crowds of others?

My personal opinion is that trolls like you, leo, who feel the need to post negative reviews on items that they never bought or owned should be permanently BANNED from ever posting on this site again. Please get a life, sir.

I picked mine up through Costco and have also noted that it's not on their website right now, odd. It was 1,399 w/ free shipping and it is the best TV I've ever seen. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

I paid for the television but the seller will not give me tracking information until he receives payment from Amazon. Amazon claims he was paid. So, I am caught in the middle. I don't know if this whole sale is real or not. I can't file any claim with Amazon until 3 days after the "scheduled" delivery time, which conveniently was posted as 2 week span by the seller. And, Amazon will not contact the seller or intervene on my behalf. So, buyer "beware"!!!

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

Also purchased a Used-Like New set from amazon warehouse which said it had "minor cosmetic damage to housing" What damage??? I inspected the TV and the only "cosmetic issues" I found was dust! It was definately worth the purchase from amazon warehouse considering the $300 savings. Haven't posted a review, but if you would like calibration settings for your LN46a650, I definately recommend going to the AVS Forums @ avsforums.com. They have a whole thread there where people post their different calibration settings!

I purchased the TV on 12/5 and still have not received the credit. I contacted customer service by email and I received a response this morning stating that due to a technical error the credit had not been applied and they were working on it. If you haven't received the credit, I would definitely contact Amazon to investigate.

The TV is fine. Do NOT. I repeat: DO NOT buy this or anything else on Amazon.com with the Amazon store card. The fine print is misleading and hard to figure out. I bought this set thinking I could pay it off in 6 months with no interest. Now I'm paying a BANK and it'll end up costing my well over a thousand dollars. I'm disabled, and can't do it, so I guess I lose the TV after paying for it (so I THOUGHT). Amazon needs to make it very CLEAR in the ads that you are BORROWING FROM A BANK, not paying Amazon, not paying the seller! The Bank (Synchrony) is relentless, they charge outrageous interest, and if you're late with a payment they add a 25% penalty. Real nice. Amazon is a bad place to buy. The TV is fine. Do NOT.

Agreed I was planning on purchasing this set next Friday April 1st, and what the heck happened?!?! All of the sudden the product is under review, and poof amazon liquidates their stock of the TV's. Kinda of bizarre if you ask me, and I'm not sure what people are complaining about but the should shush, at under $1K this TV is an absolute steal.Not a happy customer right now.

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(

i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out... » Read More i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. « Show Less

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

Eagle "lost" my TV and Amazon has since hiked up the price on the 4665. They're offering refund but not replacement, so I've effectively lost another $500. I'm taking my money elsewhere.

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.

I am also a potential buyer of this TV. Seemed too good to be true... I received the email stating the item was in stock - even though it mysteriously disappeared from the website yesterday evening.. They said they would ship from Italy after dealing through Amazon. The email was sent from sales.shipsound@gmail.com - This I thought was odd. I went to Shipsound.com and found the contact us link at the bottom. ShipSound's main office is in Delaware and their email questions address is sales@shipsound.com.I truly believe that this is a scam and it should be escalated. I am also a potential buyer of this TV.

Thanks! I found the number and called them. They can't give me a refund. the only thing I could do is to refuse the package from the first shipment and order the t.v. now at the new price....but it's not worth it to me. I would rather get the t.v. sooner than later.
