Price protection: Does Amazon have some sort of price guarantee?

Yes they do. I bought a LNT4065F and it dropped about 150 after about 20 days and I called them and they gladly refunded the difference back to my credit card.

The price is not amazons. (you can see the store name above the add it to cart button).Amazon allows private sellers to list on there, whether it is a store or just someone selling it from home. Amazons fees for listing a product are so high, that's why i think they listed it for so much. I would check on ebay, they are selling for $49.99 on there right now.

No. Items sold and shipped by amazon have prices adjust automatically based on demand. You can usually find them for less. Price will come down again automatically if people buy them less often at $135

Amazon does that a lot. If the price changes within 7 days of purchase you can contact Amazon and ask them to adjust to the current (lower) price and they will credit your account.

The answer is an easy NO - This is now listed in the details "SquareTrade Protection Plans are only valid for new products purchased at Amazon within the last 30 days." But beaware of a company that offers a warranty on Amazon for $111 and the same exact plan from them if you didn't buy it here is $279! WTF? That's a difference of over $168 for the same coverage for the same product just because it wasn't purchased here, I can see a small discount but they might as well sell out to Amazon at this point - Who in their right mind would pay $279 for a $550 tablet?Go with Smart Guard - Same exact plans, not Amazon only and much cheaper - 3 Year Tablet Accident Protection Plan ($500-600) The answer is an easy NO - This is now listed in the details "SquareTrade Protection Plans are only valid for new products purchased at Amazon within the last 30 days."

Probably not a 100% guarantee, but your best bets are to either buy a "sold by amazon" or send an email to the seller before buying.

I'm sorry, but that isn't helpful. Details? How did they cheat you? What claims did they make to deny you a rebate. How did they differ from what you were promised. Has Amazon responded to any contact you've made? Just saying you were cheated doesn't give the independent reader any way to judge the merits of your claim or any information on why Amazon's rebates can't be trusted.

As the customer below said. You need to add all your information and it shows at the checkout. There is a chance Amazon would price match after the fact, but I don't really want to take that chance. Still holding out hope they will match beforehand.

Amazon sometimes gets carried away with their list prices - I've seen T-shirts with a list price of $1,999 but 'discounted' and selling for $5

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.

I'm not sure about the company policy, however, I've always found amazon extremely helpful even when someone else sells through Amazon. I'm currently travelling overseas in Europe and it's a bit awkward for me to be more definitive. Best regards, Derek

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

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.

Interesting...I was in BB this past weekend and they indicated that they cannot match internet pricing, even though it is Amazon. I got away with that a few years ago at Circuit City and they matched the Amazon price. The great thing about Amazon is that there is no tax and no shipping so any retailer that would match the proce must factor in the local tax to truly come apples to apples.

The prices from the sellers (remember its like buying things from Ebay without the auctioning, so same risks apply) on Amazon are way over actuals, your much better off going to other sellers (BestBuy, Staples, Microsoft), there you'll know what your getting and at a fair price

I have actually spoke with an Amazon rep and for items sold by Amazon it's based on supply and demand. Prices change regularly (multiple times per day) based on sales vs. on-hand inventory. As an item sells, it's price goes up. The longer it goes without a sale, the price will come down. It's all managed automatically within their system.

To cover the "free" shipping. Amazon encourages sellers to increase their prices to offset the "free" shipping.
