Agreed. I love amazon but this is ridiculous! You can buy a brand new third gen nano with 8gb (twice the memory of this) for $199 online at apple.com. And they're selling the 2nd gen ones as refurbished for $99.

I am confused by this as well. Why would the older, out-dated version cost more? It is not an antique!

I bought a reconditioned one from Apple for $99, added additonal 2 yr warranty for $39, best deal I could find.

I get a kick out of reading these comments. Two completely different answers. What help is this to the person who asked the question ? Who are they to believe. This happens all over Amazon.

Your guess is as good as mine. People probably just don't want to take the time. I think Amazon sends requests to all buyers.

i have the same question. I asked Amazon and they stated it based on the quantity and demand of the product. Total BS to me. It shouldn't matter how much product they have left nor how many customers are ordering it.

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

It's the same here now. What happens occasionally, depending on when you look, is Amazon is out of stock and some of the third party sites in the Amazon marketplace will sell above MSRP, sometimes far above.

I noticed that about amazon..they will be selling the same product two to three different times and they all will have different prices. The dolls are the same..just different clothing.

You are welcome! Thank goodness Amazon allows all comments. That's why I keep going back to Amazon. But when one of their suppliers seems to go cheap, we need to be clear!

I don't think people realize that Amazons fees to sell the product cost more than the product. No one is going to do all the work to ship these to Amazon to lose money by selling it at the TJ's in store price.

That's a question to ask the vendor or Amazon. Sometimes vendors buy huge shipments of a product in order to get a reduced price, and then pass on the reduced price to customers. But I'm just guessing, so if you want an accurate answer, ask the vendor.

yes, I do understand, but there are others online web store that willing to sell around 1,000 too.I just want to buy it from Amazon, but if it still nothing soon. I'll order from another web.One thing that I don't understand that, why others store have it but Amazon doesn't?

I don't know what Amazon is doing but all the toys I had in my shopping cart priced $15-$20 are now over $100 overnight. What are they doing? Trying to lose customers I think! I'm done with Amazon.

My product is fulfilled by Amazon and I just checked and they are still in stock. It must be another seller. I did see someone selling them for less than the wholesale price, it may have been a mistake and they fixed the error before they last money on the sale.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

it's because amazon is awesome, not sure if you've realized. But its an old stereo four years or so. items decrease in value after a while, smaller retailers have less product and thus they need to sell if for more in order to make a profit. Also amazon buys directly from companies and companies sell directly through amazon so they are usually trying to more product especially when its an older product like this. retailers might have to buy through a 2nd or 3rd supplier and thus again they need to sell at a higher price to make the same profit. There is also shipping prices where online you pay for from the manufacture or amazon's warehouse. it's because amazon is awesome, not sure if you've realized.

The people reselling at 89$ do it all the time on here, I was looking at some toys for my niece and they were way more than the Amazon price. Buyers beware!

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.
