It' $297 right now on Amazon. I've been watching it for a while and this is the lowest that I've seen it so far. (Price includes a $50.00 instant rebate from Brother.)

I don't know what Amazon is doing but all the toys I had in my shopping cart priced $15-$20 are now over $100 overnight. What are they doing? Trying to lose customers I think! I'm done with Amazon.

No idea. I'm waiting for it too. Amazon had a price up for a while, but they just took it down.

I have been watching the price on amazon and it alwasy varied between 611 to 650. but all of sudden they raised it to $999, it doesnt make any sense to any one after looking at this. Are they trying to create a hype or just want to kill the product? whatever so it is not a wise decision in either way.

I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

Pricing has indeed recently gone up on Amazon - Amazon's loss as I noticed this TV is significantly cheaper at Butterfly and Dbuys , both with free shipping.

I found the price change upsetting, too. But since the item was already in my cart I learned that it was because the stock was depleted and the provider didn't have anymore at the lower price. - My first impulse was to blame Amazon but they proved me wrong. It apparently is not their fault.

From my understanding, Amazon doesn't do price adjustments. But call just in case.

I was gonna buy one of these today and they raised the price by $350?! WT_?!Yesterday I noticed that it was being shipped from TigerDirect and today it's from Amazon. Are they gonna switch the price again?

It's Amazon's best marketing tool. They set the price a crap ton higher then what it actually is, then they put it on "sale" by changing it back to the normal price a few days later and then they say you're saving the difference in money.

Jeff, Prices are always fluctuating on Amazon. It depends on popularity of the listing, rank, etc. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

I've noticed that the price on AMAZON seems to vary mostly based on inventory. When you see "only X left in stock" on an item, the price is usually a bit higher. You'll also see a higher price when the source is outside AMAZON, rather then buying directly from AMAZON. Now as far as the $219 price ($269 with the $50 rebate) over Christmas 2011, that was actually an AMAZON "Gold Box" price for only that short time. I only know because I know several close friends who bought units during those exact few days. They saw the "Gold Box" price, and jumped on it. So I really don't think it's "gouging", just inventory based pricing.

Actually, Amazon does do price adjustments if the price drops within 7 days, just email them. They will only do it once per order (so if it drops $2 on day 3 and they adjust, they will not adjust again if it drops another $2 on day 5) and I'm not sure but it's probably only for items sold by Amazon.

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

I believe the price fluctuates because amazon is simply a portal for finding a retailer that will sell the product for the cheapest price. When that particular retailer runs out of the product, an alternate retailer with the next best price becomes the determiner of the sales price. I just checked today and its at $340 for Electronics Expo. Good luck!
