Price- is it going to rise? I'm planning to hopefully purchase this set before the end of Feb. next year to take advantage of the 18 month no-interest deal with the Amazon store card.Does anyone know if this price is fixed, or is it a sale price that will rise in the future?

The price swings depending on the weather. If your lucky like I was, you can catch it in the high thirteens. Don't pay over $1,450 though, give it some time if it's too high for your taste.BTW: I highly recommend Vanns.com if their price is lower than Amazon's. They're great.

It has risen from $1469 to $1499 a couple of days ago. I managed to get it at the old price, beating the increase by a few days. Might get higher by February, the $ is in really bad shape worldwide and no end is in sight of it's fall.

I agree you've got to keep an eye on the price...I caught it down as low as $1179.99, but it didn't last for a whole 24 hours. So vigilance is the operative word. ....If Vann's has a better delivery service than Amazon's Eagle, I would agree. Although it is hard to pass up free shipping at times.

Since my purchase just prior to Christmas, it has dropped about $100 bucks...which Amazon has refunded to me and will if you notify them of the price drop within 30 days of purchase. REMEMBER..you must notify THEM, or no refund will be given!

I believe the price fluctuates because amazon is simply a portal for finding a retailer that will sell the product for the cheapest price. When that particular retailer runs out of the product, an alternate retailer with the next best price becomes the determiner of the sales price. I just checked today and its at $340 for Electronics Expo. Good luck!

I've been sitting here much of the day watching toy prices go up and down on this site. It's pretty ridiculous. I had items in my cart disappear, reappear, and increase in price all within four hours. I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon for this reason. During Christmas, you pretty much have to order immediately to ensure the deal. I've seen items go up by $20-$50 within 30 minutes.

Amazon just raised the price about $80. Must be because it's out of stock. I don't think I'll buy it now.

Yeah! Just went up again. I will wait till it goes down a bit more. Maybe 50 bucks off retail. If I could only wait 6 months then it would be less than that!

I agree, I was thinking of purchasing this model myself and the price went up as you clearly stated overnight. Amazon's loss! Jason, have you heard when the "B" model will be available?

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

I got mine from Amazon last week for 1249, best price ive seen. Last night it was ~1450, now its 1379. I was surprised by how often Amazon changed the prices.

There shouldnt be. Amazon prices go up and down. I bought an orbweaver a while back that would fluctuate in price by as much as 30 dollars over a week.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

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

I bought it yesterday at 2:45p.m. at the $949 price and this morning i checked it a 7 a.m. and it was down to $899. Think I can get the $50 difference from Amazon and have it refunded to my CC?

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

Miguel, Amazon should receive more units into their inventory by 12/8. Sorry for the delay but it is a very popular model and we're trying our best to keep up with demand.If the free $75 gift card is important to you, order the UL20 now, with the gift card...the gift card promotion might last another day and it might last another week, it may last longer. That decision is still up in the air. But ordering before the promotion ends will ensure you get the pc AND the gift card; and the earlier you order the higher up in the queue you will be to receive your pc once the shipment arrives to Amazon.

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.
