htc evo v price: Why does Amazon keep raising the price for this?

The price is up and down all the time, on Amazon. Got mine at Radio Shack for $229.

It was recently purchased as new from a third party seller on Amazon. Verizon is now selling the newer model (the SCH-1915) for $140 more.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

The price of this phone was less than 220$, for example, in January 2014 it was 180$. From February until today, it has increased a lot because the sellers that offer it in low price don't have the item in stock.

I got one but, it still says $529 for the check out price. Amazon is telling me they won't honor the deal price.

The model at B&H; is the new version. The difference is only that it works with iPhones. There is no reason Amazon should be selling it for way over the recommended price. I imagine they are trying to 'encourage' people to clear their stock of the old model before they drop the price, which is REALLY annoying.

Yeah, I bought it yesterday and today it went up $50! I hear Amazon fluctuates with their prices, maybe it'll go down in a week or so.

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

That's Amazon's Price. Click the "11 New From" link. They are cheaper from other retailers.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

It's not Amazon. All the prices are from Third party retailers that Amazon allows to operate through their site. Unless the product says sold and fufilled by Amazon, then it's not officially them. Amazon has sold out of this figure. Pretty much every site and store has, that's why third party sellers have it so high. Scalping at it's finest.

Um, there is. Amazon is listing it for $4.50, fifty cents cheaper than on the alternate sites you mentioned. If there was once an incorrect price, it's been fixed.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

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 notice that Amazon has two vendors selling the Mark IV for $6600. I am a big Amazon Fan however I believe they do themselves a disservice by listing Scalpers (neither of which I've ever heard of) selling the product at $1600. above suggested retail. Three months from now they'll be selling for $200.00 below suggested retail. In any event I am patiently waiting for my number to come up. Sure would like to hear from others on the "Wait" list and those with recent arrivals.

I pre-ordered this from Amazon yesterday even though they say it is out of stock. Amazon's actual sales price is $1139, Samsung just wont let them advertise that on the main page. Amazon says it's shipping today and I can expect it by the end of next week. Now, I just pray I don't get a buzzing unit and I'll be ecstatic.

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.
