why has the price increased so dramatically this year ? Bought in January for about $12 less.

Market demand and season drive prices up or down. We have it temporarily on sale right now due to surplus inventory and it will go back up after we sell the rest.

Hello, Increases in price are due to an increase from the manufacturer. Do you have the order number from the last time you ordered this product from us, so I can see what the cost was then. Thanks, Mark at Peters Select

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.

There must be a mistake in pricing. I paid $24.99 in March 2104 and that is all it is worth.

I think all of the items increased price in the Amazon. I compared the price in a week ago on the samsung TV. They increased while the other dealer not increase the 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 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 have no idea why it's priced so high. I bought mine at Walmart at a much lower price. This is actually now an older version, too.

Yeah! Just went up again. I will wait till it goes down a bit more. Maybe 50 bucks off retail. If I could only wait 6 months then it would be less than that!

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 also was dismayed at the astronomical price increase over just a few months. I found it nearer the "old" price on the Shark website. There is no free shipping but it's much more affordable.

I noticed that too. Went up $12 from the last time I purchased this from Amazon - about 6 weeks ago.

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance.Chuck
