Amazon price listing is way, way off: Whoever is posting the price on Amazon is not being truthful in the pricing.

Actually the coupon you speak of, from B&H is not a coupon. The price they show is the price AFTER instant rebate! I suggest you visit the Canon website and it will explain how the rebate works. I hope Amazon gets them instock at the $350 again and I will be ordering it. I sold my original 580 and want the newer one for my 1D Mark 3. Esp here in Alaska, the weather sealing and that metal foot will be nice. Thanks Kevin P Alaskan Photo Tours and Workshops www.PhotoTourAlaska.com

Someone down the line of listing this item has designated as this in their listing. Amazon probably wont change it even though it does not apply.

*IF* you check the sellers' links, you will see that Amazon sells these for 299. The Amazon Marketplace sellers are trying to sell it for 499, not Amazon itself; they are different entities...

the price usually reflects the messed up shipping weight as amazon built these listings.

There are different sellers on Amazon. Check if it is sold by Amazon or someone else. Then check under where it mentions all new offers and see how the sellers rate.

Because different sellers sell things on Amazon, so the Amazon price is not necessarily based on the price of the manufacturer's website.

I have contacted both Amazon (three times) and also the seller regarding this. The seller claims that Amazon set the price at $10,000.00 when they temporarily ran out of the item. Amazon informs me that sellers normally set their own prices and that this price is an obvious error which will be taken care of (hasn't yet). As someone who shops on Amazon weekly and occasionally uses 1-click, I know for certain this is not how out of stock merchandise is normally listed or priced by Amazon or its sellers. Usually sellers use the inventory feature which notifies customers they're "temporarily out of stock", and they can even include the "notify when available" option. Since Amazon offers the 1-click purchase feature, pricing out of stock items in this way seems like questionable business practice. I advise shoppers to be extremely aware of the prices on items while shopping on Amazon. This is an item I've been wanting to try for a while. It was in my shopping cart when I noticed the price change a while back. I had planned to place an order once the price was corrected, but I have yet to receive a satisfactory resolution from Amazon or the seller. Amazon told me they've opened an investigation and will get back to me within 48 hours. That was a week ago. I can only conclude that Amazon is no more bothered by this than the seller is.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

It looks like we are not an active seller on the item when I go to our overall inventory and that could be because of the price. it is not accurate.

Theresa: You might have placed your order from a 3rd-party Marketplace Seller, not AmazonCom LLC. Sellers set their own prices. Some pricing is based on the PT Barnum Principle vs Caveat Emptor. Cheers!

Most of the sellers on Amazon and eBay are using automated pricing mechanisms that are very sensitive to supply and demand. So prices can vary almost hourly.

Looks like the seller (not Marley Coffee) is price gouging people on Amazon. Should be reported.

Um, there is. Amazon is listing it for $4.50, fifty cents cheaper than on the alternate sites you mentioned. If there was once an incorrect price, it's been fixed.

Jeff, Prices are always fluctuating on Amazon. It depends on popularity of the listing, rank, etc. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

Amazon price is $350. List Price is set by the vendor - not Amazon. Amazon just lists the MSRP provided by the vendor. Beware of other sites listing items for less than Amazon (since Amazon does far more volume than other sites they have greater negotiating power to get the best deal) - when I see a lower price I tend to also see "out of stock"....

I paid about $12 and would not pay $73 nor did I see that price listed. It must be a misprint I would think. No one would pay that amount.

That is definately not our price for 1, but prices an Amazon do change daily --sometimes hourly -- due to automatic repricing software that othet sellers use. Also, please remember that the price from sellers who use "Fulfillment by Amazon" does not include the additional shipping charge, if your ordrr is under $35.
