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?

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

I got mine here on Amazon for 230.00. I would not pay 400.00! It would be nice if everyone would price them fairly, I laugh when I see them priced 2 to 5 times what a fair price is. Must be looking for stupid buyers.

I think it may have something to do with the amount of players in stock. A lot of the online venders may not be restocked yet, so those who do have them are asking a premium price. However, you can walk into a Circuit City right now and pick up one for $399, or order directly from Panasonic for the same price! I refuse to pay more than what the player sold for before Christmas. If the online prices don't come down by February 15th, I'll be going to C.City to buy mine. I'd advise anyone else to do the same.

Same here, man. It was $2544. It jumped to $2700 and then $2850. I want to get it soon, but I don't trust those other external sites with their weird return policies. Anyone else know a reputable dealer that sells it for Amazon's previous price?

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.

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.

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?

Whatever stock Buy.com had is gone now. The Amazon "Not yet available/Pre-order" message is back up at the MSRP. Can't believe I caught this a a 33% discount. Hope I'm not getting scammed and these were early release units to generate some interest and reviews??!

Another thought - it looks like the TX-SR507 and 607 will be available shortly. Maybe a 707 and 807 will follow soon. Why this would lead to a price /increase/, much less a widespread increase mysteriously to exactly MSRP on the same day sans collusion or corporate coercion, is beyond me. Maybe if an 807 is available soon at a sub $700 price I'll bite, otherwise I think I have narrowed my search down to Sony ES or Yamaha.

I just bought this model from J&R; last week for $599 with free shipping. It said it was out of stock but I decided to go ahead and preorder so I could get one when they came in. The next day I got an email saying it had shipped and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow. This is the only place I could find that had for this price besides Amazon and I looked everywhere!

Don't know why the price shot up....it doesn't make sense. The Z-2300 has been superceded by the Z-623; I don't imagine that the Z-2300 is still being manufactured.I bought the Z-2300 when it was on sale for $80 last fall.I'd say that unless you can find a set for $80 to $100 forget it and go for the Z-623 instead. It's currently, as of May 10th.'11. selling at Amazon for $130.The price for a new z2300 has gone up to $280 just two days after posting this. Totally absurd.

I have thought so too. The dramatic price drop now got me suspicious. After seeing the negative reviews around these days I believe you're right. I should have thought about this before buying this piece. Like J. Brooks, I am crossing my fingers. Please don't make me deal with customer service one more time!

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.

I got 'em for $40. It's probably some algorhythm figuring out what price to set them at so no one buys them while they're out of stock.

Yes and it looks like they have gotten quite a bit cheaper since I bought mine in June. I've been very happy with the pair I bought, I'd be even happier at the new price !
