I was just wondering how Amazon can increase the price of this product $80 in a matter of two days? On December 24th the price was $282.83 with a $40 discount at checkout bringing the price to $242.83. On December 25th the $40 discount vanished and on...

I've noticed that the price on AMAZON seems to vary mostly based on inventory. When you see "only X left in stock" on an item, the price is usually a bit higher. You'll also see a higher price when the source is outside AMAZON, rather then buying directly from AMAZON. Now as far as the $219 price ($269 with the $50 rebate) over Christmas 2011, that was actually an AMAZON "Gold Box" price for only that short time. I only know because I know several close friends who bought units during those exact few days. They saw the "Gold Box" price, and jumped on it. So I really don't think it's "gouging", just inventory based pricing.

It is $39.99 today at Target (11/12/2013), plus $8.01 shipping; so the current Amazon price is only off by a little. The Target website really turned me off, so I am happy to purchase here on Amazon

I have been watching this product everyday for weeks now. I have seen the price all over the place. I did see it one day for $99.00. I should have ordered it then! Right now, the price is at $159.00. I have seen it up over $400.00. I just dont understand why the price fluctuates so much day to day. I still think $159.00 is high. I really wouldnt pay over $159.00... is there another special present your daughter might like? I told my daughter that I will watch the price and maybe order it after Christmas. I told her that "I" wanted to get it for her (instead of Santa). Good luck. I hope it works out for you

I have been watching the price on amazon and it alwasy varied between 611 to 650. but all of sudden they raised it to $999, it doesnt make any sense to any one after looking at this. Are they trying to create a hype or just want to kill the product? whatever so it is not a wise decision in either way.

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.

It is still $50 off my original price. Price increase to cover some of Amazon fees and shipping cost.

Hello Courtney, We do apologize for any inconvenience, however if a company raises the wholesale price of their items, we must also raise the retail price in order to continue to offer the lowest price possible across the board for all products. We are sorry for any disappointment. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, Jessi V.

I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

I don't know what the price was when you posted your question, but the current price on Amazon of $22 is cheaper than all but one site that I checked. Many were significantly more. Walgreens.com does seem to have a better sale price right now, but then you still have to consider shipping. I'm an Amazon Prime subscriber, so I don't pay anything for 2 day shipping. Please let me know where you've found a better price because I'd be glad to find it cheaper.

Wow, glad you mentioned this, I'm thinking of buying this. It's now $85. Amazon's pricing for many items does fluctuate, and sometimes quite a bit. It will likely decrease again, not sure when though. You just have to check for it as often as you can until you catch it.

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the product itself. I believe Amazon prices tend to fluctuate day to day, depending on inventory levels. My guess is there are just more of the 1-packs in stock right now, so the prices are set to incentivize customers to purchase that pack size instead of the 2-pack.

I see what you mean ... the default price was higher because Amazon stock is out. It says: "Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item." So I suppose you can try that and cancel the order if you aren't happy with the response (or lack of response). It sounds like a pretty awesome toy I must say.

Wow, that's a tough one. I bought it a couple of days before the price went up, and was glad that I did. Surprised to see that it came down again so soon. I don't know that Amazon has any sort of price guarantee, but you could order another one and return the first one without ever opening the box. All it will cost you is return shipping which will be at most $10.

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.

Yea, I am regretting not buying this at $1505 w/ the bluray deal on wed. the 24th. Thinking wow, maybe amazon will have a better BF price, it actually went up $50. And now, well as you all see, $1,606.92+ and no bluray deal. Lets just say I wont be buying from amazon unless the price drops back down. Or might just go elsewhere....

I've noticed big price fluctuations with a lot of products on Amazon... It works out for me, though, because the prices dip drastically at other times... gotta love getting an item retailed at $120 for $31.50, don't you think?
