MSRP is $43.95 ($46.95). I have free shipping. Amazon's price is $52.95. I am paying for shipping anyway. Why is Amazon more than MSRP?

I was just wondering the exact same thing. I found this same 2.2 lb product on another site for $16.95. I wanted to order it from Amazon due to my Prime account and free shipping, but even with shipping costs from the other place it ends up being MUCH less costly. Are we sure this is priced right? Doesn't seem to be. Sorry, if this isn't an answer but just another question...

I agree wholeheartedly. I don't understand the price difference. I went out and bought it at my local Walmart for $3.87. If Amazon came anywhere close to that I would order it from them, but I can't justify the price right now.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

Our price on Amazon is not the $73.28 that you are seeing. That price is being offered by another seller.

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.

I bought this item last year and it was $15.00 and I flipped to come back and see it at $34.44. BUT the difference is the seller. Last time I bought from Amazon and this item is not Amazon as the seller, right now if you find Amazon as the seller the item is $17.56 so not too much difference from your $17.00. Another buyer pointed this out to me recently as I flipped about the difference as well.

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.

Amazon only price matches (gives you a refund) if you bought it from them , not one of their third-party sellers. Also, the lower price must be from them.I bought it when it was at $2899 and got two refunds to make it $2699. I always use the call me immediately button uder the Help section to do this.Also, the shipper they used got it to me 6 days before when Amazon said I'd have it.

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"....

Well because MSRP stand for Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price so I guess the justification would be that since they (LEGO) are the manufacturer they can make that SUGGESTED price ANYTHING they want. Though I/everyone else here (including Amazon) don't have to personally justify anything to you on behalf of LEGO.If you were complaining about the ACUTAL selling price I would blame brand name toys and popularity and the fact that it just came out for the hiked up price. Eventually the price will fall but like a PP said you don't like it don't buy it.

That's Amazon's Price. Click the "11 New From" link. They are cheaper from other retailers.

If you look at the manufacturer's site there is also shipping and handling of $5.95. Amazon is free shipping for Prime customers and also free shipping on some sites for $35.00 orders. Hope this helps.

I have seen price change on Amazon, but not like what you are stating! Amazon should answer this.

there are many sellers- distributors on Amazon selling at various prices, etc. Many distributors are selling under MAP - minimum advertised price. The manufacturer will always lower the price to compete with violators of their Minimum Advertised Price. The MSRP on the SuperEar is $34.95 and ALL distributors are required to sell the product at MSRP on Amazon. The product originally sold for $39.95 and the manufacturer has reduced the MSRP to $34.95. The unit is a deal at MSRP as it carries a 3 year warranty and is used for ADA/CMS compliance in the healthcare industry. No other product can touch it for $34.95. there are many sellers- distributors on Amazon selling at various prices, etc. Many distributors are selling under MAP - minimum advertised price.

Amazon has a long history of outrageous MSRPs on Canon products and thereby presenting rediculous discount %s. I understand about listings being confused with foriegn currencies, etc, but ya think ya might take a quick look at the Canon website to see if you're even close? The 580 EX II is not new to the Canon product line nor is it an upgrade. I will again point out this oversight by Amazon to Amazon and probably receive the usual obigatory lame excuse. It's annoying, misleading and somehow amazing that this particular type of frequent mistake never appears to hit lower than the correct MSRP!
