Why the huge difference in price between the different sellers Amazon has listed for this product? Makes me nervous.

This is a marketplace. Sellers are free to set their own price. Why in the world would difference in pricing among sellers make you nervous?

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!

i've found prices jump around on amazon based on how many times i browse items. maybe it's some clever data-tracking way to monitor my browsing and then coerce me to purchase a particular item because of fear the price is going to continue to increase, but also maybe it's just difference in suppliers as amazon draws from different suppliers for many products. are you sure the supplier is the same at $87 as the supplier was for your first purchase?

As far as I know, they are the same except for the slight price difference. I have noticed that sometimes the same product can be listed more than once on Amazon with similar, slight price differences; often, both listings have the same seller! I usually buy the one with the lowest price.

Probably no difference just a different seller. I look for the low price and sent by Amazon.

It's an Amazon glitch. I've had it happen before with other products. Amazon won't offer the lower price, only what shows on the actual product page. However, if the price drops after you've paid for it and amazon has shipped it, you can ask them to give you back the price difference.

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

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.

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

I am guessing that you are looking at two different suppliers. There are different prices for the same thing depending on who you buy it from.

An Amazon, there could be multiple vendors of the same product and they might be charging different shipping rates. Also, your location may affect the rates as well. You may want to see which vendors provide the lowest price on the product + shipping, but make sure that you also factor in service when you choose which to buy from.

Prices fluctuate. If you shop on Amazon long enough, you'll find that prices for certain item categories (like physical books) are more stable than others (like personal electronics). It almost certainly wasn't a straight shoot from $17 to $28. The price probably rose and dropped, rose and dropped, before eventually reaching $28.00. And it's possible that the $17 price listing was from another vendor than the $28 price listing. $17 sounds awful low for this product. I'm guessing the $17 price was from a third party--not shipped and sold directly by Amazon. Marketplace sellers will sometimes lower the item price to draw customers in, only to raise the shipping and handling to more than compensate for the subtotal deduction. Keep an eye on the price--check it every day. In my experience, if the price reached $17 once, it probably will again. But it might take a few more months to get there.

I believe there is no difference. Amazon frequently marks different colors of the same item different prices because one color is more popular than another.

Hi Jane! Sometimes a third seller on here will place an item at a higher cost if amazon or a "fullfiled" by Amazon 2nd party is not available. This is economically cause of supply and demand of the item in question, for ex: if there is low supply a seller may up the price depending on the expected demanded volume for incoming orders. Other reasons include that there is no other sellers offering a lower price point competitively. I hope this helps :)

If I understand what you are saying about price variances. Please remember there are several independent stores selling this product. We are only selling 60 count and the fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) stores are pretty much consistent but you will always have variance. I would buy from an FBA store but just check for yourself

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.

You're looking at offerings from "third party" sellers, so Amazon is not setting the price, they're just handling the shipping of the item.I don't see any listings where Amazon is the actual seller, only the shipper, so don't blame them for the pricing, that's determined by the third party seller.
