Absolutely Misleading! David S. of Amazon, I second S. Nadar. it seems you have a weak internal control. Your supplier provided the data for the price update, the email for the discount was sent out by Amazon not from supplier, where is the disconnection here? You are aware of the discount and the price increase, right? It seems that your team is sleeping on the job. What is your million items impossible to check coming from?. What happens in Amazon website is the sole responsibility of AMAZON, no other excuses is acceptable. We, the consumers, will always point our finger to Amazon regardless who to blame and yours to fix. Absolutely Misleading! David S. of Amazon, I second S.

I have been watching the price of this HDTV as well and I think that the practice of offering a coupon (which implies a discount) but then increasing the price by more than the value of the coupon is very misleading. It would seem from the comments above/below that other consumers feel the same way.

I saw it too. I saw the coupon the day after I looked it up online, went to the site to buy it, and was dumbfounded. Amazon keeps this crap up and they will lose a VERY good customer.

My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding? The promotions were offered by Amazon and whats more the promotions even indicated the current market price to indicate how big a discount was on offer!Also, by saying "There are several million items listed on our website, this makes it impossible for us to check the price of every item" are you implying that Amazon does not have internal controls on whats on its website and thereby everything on your website is unreliable? Amazon and its CS team need to get your act together. My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding?

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

They have done it again. They won't honor their price at all. Last time I ordered a SONY 52" LCD. The price was $1400.00. It's 200 cheaper than others. After 1 week, Amazon canceled order saying the price was wrong. I have been so mad .

What a cheap trick by Amazon. Amazon posted this Samsung for $1999 two weeks ago, and now raises price and offers $300 coupon. Sorry Amazon, can't fool consumers. TV always goes lower not higher.

I've noticed big price fluctuations with a lot of products on Amazon... It works out for me, though, because the prices dip drastically at other times... gotta love getting an item retailed at $120 for $31.50, don't you think?

Tech Geek, appreciate your view. How is SR11 working for you ? Junior Piquito, I noticed that AbesOfMaine is selling it for 730 (plus free bag). I've been following prices on various web sites for 4-5 weeks now. At one point, Amazon.com dropped to 790. I don't know why it shot back up. I've never bought anything from AbesOfMaine before and have had a wonderful experience with Amazon.com shipping and customer service so far. I am going to wait out another week and if it doesn't drop, will buy it from the other place. I hope amazon can offer competitive price.

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!

I have been following this item and pricing too. I was wondering what caused the price to just double. It must be an error.

I didn't realize TV's trade like stocks these days??? I had it in my cart for $1055.00 on 8/24 in the AM and an hour later it went to $1,100+, now its $1,222? Funny how I have never seen anything go down in price after putting in my cart. I've seen things go down a bit when in saved items but never when you're ready to check out. I'm a huge Amazon fan but someone is playing games here.

Yeah me too: I've had to wait until my target purchasing week (this week) and have had to endure Amazon teasing and tempting me to buy Buy BUY with those coupon codes! (It's like Deal or No Deal up in here!) and now this week when I can finally act on it, no coupon. :( bummer!The price dropped though, so I guess it's not TOO bad a loss.

Hello, we apologise for the price change. We try to maintain the same, if not steady price for our products. However, market prices are always fluctuating therefore we have to adjust our price accordingly on Amazon.

Wow -- I'm sure glad I ordered this at the 649.99 price now (still waiting. though)! And, Big Moe, did you save that email from Newegg??? Try forwarding (or attaching) it to Amazon C.S. and don't mention the coupon code. You might get a surprise???

Hello. I bought this item during the Black Friday lightning round. However, I did a check on the item and there should be a 'special offer available' link which brings you down slightly on the webpage to a clip for a $10 off coupon. The tricky part is that you have to go through the checkout process and for me, I didn't see the coupon till the 'place your order' page. It should give you an instant discount. Hope this helps.

I don't know what Amazon is doing but all the toys I had in my shopping cart priced $15-$20 are now over $100 overnight. What are they doing? Trying to lose customers I think! I'm done with Amazon.

Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf? And Amazon will match it -- right after chickens grow lips, pigs fly, hell freezes over...well, you get the point. ;) No reason for Amazon to drop the price when it's holding its value at almost $400. Since the Transformer 2 is listed at $499 (32GB) and $599 (64GB) I also don't see a dent in the T1 price anytime soon. Even the Slider in the upper $400s hasn't hurt the T1. Maybe after BF...EDIT: Sorry, let me be clear...I'm definitely ROOTING for a BF sale or a price drop. I just don't see it happening for a while. -Matt Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf?

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.

Yeah, what's with the price hike? These were like $6 or $7 a week ago. Amazon's pricing sucks.

Why are you overpaying for such low grade product...? Amazon raised the prices 25% since taking over the distribution of this maker's products... Stay away - find a descent Cellarcraft retailer....

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

Absolutely Misleading! David S. of Amazon, I second S. Nadar. it seems you have a weak internal control. Your supplier provided the data for the price update, the email for the discount was sent out by Amazon not from supplier, where is the disconnection here? You are aware of the discount and the price increase, right? It seems that your team is sleeping on the job. What is your million items impossible to check coming from?. What happens in Amazon website is the sole responsibility of AMAZON, no other excuses is acceptable. We, the consumers, will always point our finger to Amazon regardless who to blame and yours to fix.
