I completely agree!! In the middle of the day, I phoned home from work to have my mom buy it for me, but she couldn't find it, and couldn't find it. So, I chalked it up to her being unable to find it, and come to find out when I got home, it was "SOLD OUT" but is still available for the price of $22.97...I'm not normally one to complain, but out of the hundreds of thousands of items they have on their site, you'd think they could control the handful they put up for sale on Cyber Monday. :(

Hey J. Dial, I was going to buy this and have it in my cart for the $19.99, but decided my daughter would use it only once! If you would want it I can give it to you for the $19.99 price? If you can come up with a way to have it I'm willing to give it to you!

Just bought one from Target for $18. They had plenty in stock yesterday. They are in the crayola section near the office supplies. Didn't see them near the toys. Good luck!

Toys are commodity priced on Amazon (so are books, DVD's, and everything else). If you like the price, snap it up, because it may go up on you at any time.

ACMoore had the glow domes buy-one-get-one-free last week. There was also a 20% off your total purchase coupon in the paper. I ended up getting 2 for about $24. I think right now they are $19.99 each on sale. Get them while you can.

I didn't want to risk not being able to get it and I did for $22.97, but once I put it through the checkout it increased to $26! Get it while it's $22.97.

I've been sitting here much of the day watching toy prices go up and down on this site. It's pretty ridiculous. I had items in my cart disappear, reappear, and increase in price all within four hours. I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon for this reason. During Christmas, you pretty much have to order immediately to ensure the deal. I've seen items go up by $20-$50 within 30 minutes.

Not a major deal for me, since I didn't pay anything for shipping and I grabbed this for the discount rather than any pressing need for storage. I'm now starting to wonder since it's been a few days and this still hasn't shipped. Seems like Amazon must have oversold this item when they made this a gold box special. Which is weird since they normally limit the number of items sold at the deal price to prevent this from happening. If you paid for expedited shipping it might be worthwhile to contact Amazon to see if you can get a refund for shipping without canceling your order. I don't know if they'd do it or not but it seems like a reasonable request for something that's been unexpectedly put on back order.

Hehehe, that is one thing I dislike about Amazon. How quickly their pricing on merchandise changes. Sometimes pricing goes up, and sometimes it goes down. Of course if it goes up, than you are happy that you purchased it just in time, but on the other hand if it goes down, than you would obviously be a tad upset for ordering it to soon. Anyhow, I am positive that Amazon does not issue credits for the prices dropping.

That's a recent development - it's been in stock until recently. So, where is the right location to raise this? Apparently not customer service, who punted to the 'product staff', who never responded. I posted here out of frustration. I understand the economics. I also understand the stated Prime policy, which should have precedence. But I'm done with this - I bought some other speakers elsewhere. Amazon Prime is great -almost- all the time, and despite this incident, I still think it is an excellent bargain.

I can't believe Amazons shipping either. Its like its coming from China or something. I ordered an available item and it says my item will not ship until 6 days from now. My first time shopping with Amazon. Sucks! Got the Kindle. I felt so excited to get it but now I feel angered about the shipping. How is it that everyone else is so proficient at shipping? I DO NOT understand all the hype about http://amazon.com. I will definitely reek to everyone about how long items take and recommend other internet shopping.

Colorful items sells what appears to be the same machine for 3 or more prices. The descriptions used differ slightly but the machines look to be the same. If go to thier website they only sell one machine and its $250 so why are there machines here on amazon for $175?

Same thing with me. I put it in my cart earlier today at $399 from Amazon.com. Now my cart is saying that Amazon doesn't carry this, and if i still want it, it will be fulfilled by another vendor for $429. It feels like some shady maneuvering going on here.

It seems like Amazon.com is out of stock on it, and the higher prices you're seeing are from 3rd party sellers. A bit of supply and demand, with a very low supply they are charging more for it. I checked another site (wayfair.com), which said they were going to get more stock around May 1st, perhaps Amazon will too.

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.

Tiffany, I have just two more to sell. However I saw that there's 60 sellers so you'll have no problem getting what you need. I noticed too that Amazon themselves is carrying them and at a much lower price than mine. I don't normally suggest not buying something from me, but with the number that you need, I feel it's appropriate to give you the best advice. My goal really is to satisfy Amazon customers so in your case I think you'll appreciate the savings. Check it out and you'll see (copy and paste this number - B00IVFCIFG into the Amazon search bar either in All departments or Toys & Games, and you'll see what I mean. Have a blessed day, and best wishes for your party. Sara Tiffany, I have just two more to sell. However I saw that there's 60 sellers so you'll have no problem getting what you need.

Ok just emailed Amazon about this and they said that they themselves were out of stock and to look at the offers from the third party sellers mentioned. Gee, if I wanted to pay over $100 more, I would have known how to do that! In any case, I just ordered it from Macy's online and got free shipping and $20 off using their SPRING promo code. Can't beat that!

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!

You people are ridiculous. Amazon does a great service with their price guarantee, but you actually have to read it. If you bought the item through another vendor on amazon that is YOUR problem not amazon's. Clearly people are not paying attention to what they are doing. On top of that amazon is not "drop shipping" from any other location. You are actually buying from another company that is using amazon to sell the products they also carry. Why would amazon give you money back for that? If amazon sells it directly to you then they absolutely will 100% of the time honor their price guarantee. You people are ridiculous.

Amazon only price matches (gives you a refund) if you bought it from them , not one of their third-party sellers. Also, the lower price must be from them.I bought it when it was at $2899 and got two refunds to make it $2699. I always use the call me immediately button uder the Help section to do this.Also, the shipper they used got it to me 6 days before when Amazon said I'd have it.

Hello Different pricing in many stores. Including Amazon. Very sorry for your frustration, we have all been they're. Thank you

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.
