Why'd the price get jacked up? I was just ready to buy a pair of J2's, then come online this week and find they've gone from $14.95 to $23.95.. and this with a newer model on the market?

And now they are saying they were $79.95 to try to make $14.95 sound like a good Cyber Monday deal? Really?

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.

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

Come on Amazon!!! It's time to put these on sale again! I'm in the market for one but I'd like a slight drop in price before pulling the trigger.

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

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.

Heelo JC, This item is back in stock but the $99 price was a special price that we were offering. The price is now at the regular price.

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130.It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

I was just wondering the same thing! I purchased ours for around $658 from J&R; on here back in January. Now it's more than double that. Why have they stopped production? This is an amazing camcorder.

I saw it at $995 two weeks back and thats when I pulled the trigger. Walked in to my local best buy and had them match the price.....paid 985 out the door after taxes, e.t.c.

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon. I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

Try jr.com, they also sell the Black version for $399.99 although they are also out of stock....I placed an order with them a few days ago, hopefully they won't cancel.The current price of $649.99 is just ridiculous. Geez I hate merchants who take advantage of a situation like this.
1305573
Yeah, I really should have posted an update. I ended-up cancelling my pre-order with Amazon when I saw J & R had them in stock again. I paid about $5 more but it was worth not having to wait in perpetuity!

The last price before the "spike" to $450 was $215, which is the price I paid for it. I never saw it for $150 though, THAT would really have been an amazing deal. I think you just have to wait for the price to drop - nothing to do about it but wait (I waited for 2 months before buying it, because the price was too high, even at 260). All the best

I was gonna buy one of these today and they raised the price by $350?! WT_?!Yesterday I noticed that it was being shipped from TigerDirect and today it's from Amazon. Are they gonna switch the price again?

I'm just reporting back. I truly did not expect to get any special treatment based on what I had read - and I am in the south, but not a southerner. It's just that I waited 6 months for the price to get back down. And whether this plays into it or not, I have recently spent quite a few dollars with Amazon.If anyone else was waiting to buy, now's the time. Who knows what they'll cost next week.BTW Chad, how do they sound?
