Discount off the list price? When do you think Amazon will kick in with a typical discount off the list price? I am not sure how long this takes.

It's posted $39 off the retail. It was showing something like $3 off, but I think that was an error. Sure looks tempting to me.....

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!

Thank you for your enquiry. We currently have no stock and have raised the price to $499.99 as a temporary measure. The price will reduce to $29.95 when our stock arrives at Amazon's warehouses next week. Apologies for any inconvenience. Regards Customer Service Team, Living Concept

Agree- price gouging and Amazon should take the high road and disallow it. Gouging is taking advantage of supply restraints by raising the price artificially. Doesn't have anything to do with if you actually buy or not to be gouging. It is gouging by definiton. Look it up. But don't give em the satisfaction. Wait, be patient and shortly they will be everywhere. You have survived all this time w/out one-you can wait another month or two. Trust me, by then they will be easy to get. Why? Cuz a whole bunch more are coming down the pike and the wow factor of this one will diminish. Wait til Amazon announces their own quad-core one here shortly or when Samsung's sweet tablet hits the street, etc etc. I too would like to try one of these, but after seeing more than one review mention the case quality being poor and the unit actually separating where the front and back meet, I am skeptical. Thus, why I want to buy from someone like Amazon who has a liberal return policy. Could have bought one today at newegg no problem, but with a nonrefundable return policy-no way. They are out there, but buyer beware is what I say. I'm babbling...out.

I would guess Christmas + last minute shopping = jacked up Amazon price. I've had several things from my wish list increase, especially if they're from third party sellers.

Amazon price is $350. List Price is set by the vendor - not Amazon. Amazon just lists the MSRP provided by the vendor. Beware of other sites listing items for less than Amazon (since Amazon does far more volume than other sites they have greater negotiating power to get the best deal) - when I see a lower price I tend to also see "out of stock"....

It is a radical new idea Amazon is starting to test out. I think they are going to call it "On Sale". I think it might catch on.

Because of the way Amazon is structured and the process required to offer any discounts for orders, it does not make sense to offer additional discounts on this product. I realize that may sound crazy, but I literally will lose more money then I will earn. I am sorry, perhaps someone else is in need or willing to work for a few pennies. If so, I wish you the best. Unfortunately I can't afford to offer a lower price than listed.

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.

Whatever stock Buy.com had is gone now. The Amazon "Not yet available/Pre-order" message is back up at the MSRP. Can't believe I caught this a a 33% discount. Hope I'm not getting scammed and these were early release units to generate some interest and reviews??!

Put it in your cart and then watch it for about a month, checking your cart daily, if possible. That is what I do with just about anything that I am thinking of buying from Amazon and I know that it has been at lower prices before. My art usually has about three pages of items being "save for later" and all I need to do is check the cart and there is a synopsis of all price changes of any item being held there. I put all non-urgent items that I just feel like buying and can wait for the price to drop to what I want to pay for it.

I am not sure why this pricing would come up for you. The unit is priced from us and most other competitors as well as around $80 dollars. It is possible that you are looking at a listing for a used item, or possibly that you have a credit on your Amazon account.

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

Agree. This is one of things that annoys me about Amazon. I know I can get the product label somewhere else, but why should I have to do that? Very annoying. Initially, I put up with it because I thought Amazon has the best prices, always, but I've discovered it's not true. For example, l bought this product locally for $8.39 regular price, same size.

Good luck, T. Frey and to everybody else.. I am hoping Amazon would post the deal prior to Black Friday because I am leaving home at 3AM on Friday to get in line at Best Buy if Amazon will not match it prior to Black Friday.

I buy tools from Amazon and they will drop a price for just a few minutes to create some excitement. They will get crazy sometimes like 75% off. Part of the game. You need to jump when you see it. That price may be gone in 30 sec.If you want to keep tabs on a price, put the item in your wish list and check it often. The updated price will show.

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.
