Can you help me figure out why the price is so high? It was $4pp in December (on special). Thank you, Ryan .

I believe the price went up when the GH3 was introduced and they stopped offering the GH2. Sounds crazy that the introduction of an upgrade would drive up the price of the predecessor but it's true. The GH2 is still an AMAZING camera and and this point in time people aren't willing to pay the price of the GH3. I think the supply just isn't as great as it once was, but the demand is still very high. I bought one used GH2 for $700 back in 2012. Hope this answers your question.

I was about to order, but then saw the price increase. I've felt like I was watching commodity trading on the pricing the last couple of weeks. Just a guess on my part, but perhaps they are starting to receive units with the new 2009 maps, and that is the reason for the uptick in price? Again, merely an uneducated guess on my part. I'm looking at pcrush(d0tc0m) to order at $235 now.

Hold out for a while. It was listed at $367 on here not that long ago. This is Amazon price gouging.

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.

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)

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.

Thanks for the update. There was no way I was going to buy this from Amazon when they were selling it before Christmas at 249.00. I kept tracking it to see if the price went down and now I don't have to. I bought one as well from Leapfrog. Thank you again!

Thanks! Yesterday it was out of stock, and today I checked again and it was in stock so I ordered it. It's for my little cousin for Christmas.I was tempted to get the bundle (monopoly express) but that was like $5 more + $7 shipping so it probably ends up costing as much as the express anyway.This one was 97¢ shipping, total is like $33ish :)

i just bought this yesterday, im sorry but i might have been the source of its rapid increase in price. :/

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

You said NOT WITH US, but it was a few hours ago because it was in my cart, then it disappeared from my cart so I found it and clicked on it several times, made sure it was from you, and it still said $995.00, so I had to order from someone else. Must be a system glitch.

C. Cole - Did you get it at the 1139 price? I believe Amazon has raised its price now. Shows a MAP of 1439.

I've been sitting here much of the day watching toy prices go up and down on this site. It's pretty ridiculous. I had items in my cart disappear, reappear, and increase in price all within four hours. I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon for this reason. During Christmas, you pretty much have to order immediately to ensure the deal. I've seen items go up by $20-$50 within 30 minutes.

Hopefully this is a mistake by Amazon. It happens from time to time. Other retailers have it as low as $279.

Well today its back at 399.99 --- hrmm interesting! Better get it while you can.

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.
