$164 Price Gone?? I noticed that the price on the Zojirushi BBCCX20 dropped to $164 and change around 10:30 p.m. PST on Saturday 11/7/09. I wanted to ask my wife if she wanted to get it, but she was asleep so I decided to wait until Sunday morning.Then the price went back up to $193.49. Why was the $164 price valid for such a short time?There was no warning of the $164 price expiring any time soon.My wife said the Zojirushi BBCCX20 was around $215 this past Friday!Why does Amazon.com change the price so drastically over just a few days?Is it worth waiting for the $164 price again?Thank you.Jason Wood $164 Price Gone??

I suggest you track the price with pricespider.com or priceprotector or camelcamelcamel.com. These sites track amazon prices pretty much on an hourly basis and will alert you by email (you need to sign up ) when there is a price drop. The way amazon drops prices on items (from day to day or even hour to hour sometimes) these are great services to use.

Thanks for the advice, pastry chef. In early March, 2010, I started looking at the Zo X20, and it was $175. Now, late March, it jumped up to $214. That's over 20%. Krazy. I can get it at my local store for that, support a local business, and not pay shipping.

I agree, I was thinking of purchasing this model myself and the price went up as you clearly stated overnight. Amazon's loss! Jason, have you heard when the "B" model will be available?

Tarek, I am glad I could help. You are correct in that Amazon has added the new version to their database. Doing an Amazon search for "HKGOPLAY5BLK" will pull it up. It is interesting to note that some places it is HKG<zero>PLAY5BLK but I believe Amazon has it correct with HKG<capital o>PLAY5BLK.Once Amazon gets them in stock I am sure they will correct the price to $350 or below since that is the actual MSRP.I can see how the cost-benefit margin might be slim if you don't have an i-anything, have you considered the Soundsticks II? The aesthetics are certainly better than the Z-2300. Either one is at a price point that might allow you to get the new GO + Play when you get an i-something and the price has come down.

Looks like its where you want to be, I see $114 right now at Amazon but I have also seen cheaper last week elsewhere, I guess price is subject to fluctuate.

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.

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?

Same here, man. It was $2544. It jumped to $2700 and then $2850. I want to get it soon, but I don't trust those other external sites with their weird return policies. Anyone else know a reputable dealer that sells it for Amazon's previous price?

No problem, I know it hasn't been over a year but thought it was close enough to respond. I paid $27.20 from Amazon prime as well. I was able to find it for $35.47 inc ship and tax @ hunting4less.com and for $34.45 inc ship and tax @ boaterbarn.com this was for my location though not sure what it would be for you but may be worth looking into since this is half of what Amazon wants now. Good luck!

Now 1/25/2014, it's back to $23.50 ?? Feel free to correct me, but I understand Amazon has a pricing algorithm that determines price...

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

I must agree, the pricing is all over the map. I often leave items in my cart (the "save for later" function) and doing that I get to easily track price changes that occur over time. I've noticed many items on Amazon fluctuate on an almost daily basis by a few cents to a few dollars. However this printer seems to experience huge swings in pricing - it was $680 yesterday, today's it's down to $599.

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

Tech Geek, appreciate your view. How is SR11 working for you ? Junior Piquito, I noticed that AbesOfMaine is selling it for 730 (plus free bag). I've been following prices on various web sites for 4-5 weeks now. At one point, Amazon.com dropped to 790. I don't know why it shot back up. I've never bought anything from AbesOfMaine before and have had a wonderful experience with Amazon.com shipping and customer service so far. I am going to wait out another week and if it doesn't drop, will buy it from the other place. I hope amazon can offer competitive price.

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

I'm with you. I was waiting for pay day and 2 days before the price went up. I'm hoping it goes down in the next few days/weeks. Amazon does have a 30 day price guarantee where if the price goes down after you've ordered you can contact them and they'll refund you.

lol ....I wonder if or when they will drop it again? We supposed to be getting Black Friday Deals not price jumps! Anyway... hopefully they will drop it back to $624 or lower in a week or 2.
