Why is the Transformer $600 when the list price is $400? Talk about price gouging...

use the site nowinstock.net...It's how I ordered my Asus, and it can send you text messages when something is in stock. It let me know when this was $499 (list price). Good luck

These resellers are making Amazon like Ebay. Charging 35 bucks for standard shipping, really?

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

YIKESTF201 design flawNow being sold by 3rd parties selling off inventory. The ASUS factory is rampping up production of TF700. The TF201 is design dead, VERY surprized about how ASUS is responding to this issue. They tried to push the Design window and it backfired. The specs on TF700 are superior to TF201.Best advise is return your TF201 and wait for TF700 or buy TF101.

How is it fraud? You're not being forced to buy it and you can spend your moneys elsewhere. Now if you want to talk consumer fraud, how about power companies, cable providers, gas companies?

The list price is $439.99 to as low as $419.99 on Sony Store - Amazon sometimes sells lower than that. If you added to the cart which says "Sold by Amazon" with free shipping and found the price to be $299.00 you got yourself a great deal. Make sure you confirm you buy from Amazon Directly they cannot sell used products. But Amazon Market place can sell used products - Watch out!

The price now is sixty dollars. I believe it was fifty dollars yesterday. There does seem to be a shortage of these chargers right now but still to pay 60 dollars for a charger that can be purchased from the manufacturer for $25.00, and for less then $20 from other vendors. This is lunacy. These are the type of affiliate vendors that Amazon.com should throw out because they give Amazon a bad name.

My transformer says "44 watts" on the label, so I think the picture is wrong. But I'm sure they'd sell you an 88W model (!)

Amazon keeps tweeking the price of this 550 and the other models constantly. Even daily!!!!! Mostly by just a few bucks???I recently bought my daughter a 550 for $879. I wanted one also so I waiting, hoping the price would drop a little. Nope......now the same set is over $900.So I found the same set at US Appliance for $849. Free shipping Sorry Amazon

Thanks Mastercard. I'm not sure what an AVR is, as this is my first foray in using an appliance with a different voltage requirement to what we have here in Australia. I should correct my post by pointing out the step down transformer is actually for 240v>110v. The Onkyo TX-NR609 retails for A$1000+ here and our dollar is worth around 105 US cents. So despite the voltage inconvenience, I'm well ahead on the deal. I do wonder however as to what the idle power consumption of the transformer will be.

I found this interesting. I didn't expect the price to stay below 400 for long. It would seem to be due to the number of returns and poor customer service, though I haven't had to experience any of those myself. Large package, expensive to ship, a business is about making money and cutting costs. The popularity of an item doesn't matter. Perhaps TCL raised the price of the set themselves and Amazon decided the item was too risky and expensive in the end to keep. I sure would not pay $449.00 for this set now as listed by a seller. (3/29/2012), but then that is because I have one I bought for $329.99. My option at the time was to pay more than 400 for a Samsung, my second choice. I found this interesting.

I agree. I have all of them except the optimus prime and megatron. The thing is those 2 are so hard to find. Amazon has them for 40$(op) 20$(m). When at target they are 10 bucks each. But I need them, so I will be stuck paying that price for them.

If that's the case, then you can have mine for a mere $500....(just kidding...I see the price ranging here, but its usually somewhere between $12 and $20...probably some mysterious glitch...check again later.)

Now, half a year later, "high-end" 1610 here at Amazon costs $260, and "consumer version" 590 (supposed to be identical to 1610) costs $360. Funny, hah?
1669226
Yes, that's very incorrect. It's not just expensive, it's exorbitant. I'm having one installed in a few days and they quoted $760, which I thought was very high.

Dear Nick, please beware that one of the seller is only selling the charger and listed it for $40 in USED section. He violated Amazon listing policy by not listing not against the detail page. Please report him.

The price new is $9,999, not $999. The $999 one must be the cut rate version they sell to discount electronics sores.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.
