the website lists the msrp as $80 and amazon as its only current supplier. why is amazon selling it at $20 above msrp?

When I visit the eton site, I see this product (the "BoostTurbine 4000") listed with an MSRP of $89.99. The current price on Amazon is listed as $79.99.

see in a capitalist system the manufacturer can suggest a retail price... which is what MSRP means but their retailer can sell that for more than the manufacturer suggests... the irony here is there is a concrete floor usually as to what the manufacturer will let them sell it for but there's no ceiling. So if a company isnt selling a lot of items you'd think the price would go down but it doesnt always happen... look at the price of some gen 3 night vision goggles or an eotech weapon sight... they dont sell too many of those outside of the government but the price hasnt come down in years. Yet the price of ammunition has doubled in the past year and everyone's buying that. Supply and demand man... its a cruel mistress.

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.

shipping prices is the main reason. Shipping from the manufacturer $25 then shipping to you another $25 makes it hard. The prices on Amazon are actually still about what the old MSRP was even though the price has gone up.

Do not know exactly why, but do know that that manufacturer, Standard Process, currently has it listed on their site at $43 along with other competitors of Amazon.

The price on the Microsoft website is exactly $20 more than the price on the Amazon website, so it appears that Amazon is getting the benefit of the rebate and then passing it along to its customers.

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.

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

I notice that Amazon has two vendors selling the Mark IV for $6600. I am a big Amazon Fan however I believe they do themselves a disservice by listing Scalpers (neither of which I've ever heard of) selling the product at $1600. above suggested retail. Three months from now they'll be selling for $200.00 below suggested retail. In any event I am patiently waiting for my number to come up. Sure would like to hear from others on the "Wait" list and those with recent arrivals.

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

Because Amazon doesn't have a fixed price system. Just get whatever you find cheaper.

I just saw that Best Buy has it listed for the price that Amazon had it listed at not too long ago (around 2,200.00). It's not available at all their stores though..

Looks like its where you want to be, I see $114 right now at Amazon but I have also seen cheaper last week elsewhere, I guess price is subject to fluctuate.

That's great that Amazon has updated their site. The price is a little confusing, but if you are on the Worx site and you click the 30 minute charger and then Buy now it still brings up the price as $199.99, so that leads me to believe that Amazon's MRSP is correct for the 30 minute charger. They both have the $50 discount, but Worx's is charing $26 for shipping while Amazon will ship for free. I am pretty positive that I am going to purchase this item now, but I am leaving for vacation for 2 weeks, so I will probably order when I return. I have also inquired to Lowes if they will carry this newer model since they carry the older one, but I have not heard back yet from them regarding that.

the lowest I've seen it has been $529 and now its back up to $ 719.00the crazy thing is the MSRP is $699 on the brother website. I love amazon but this is just weird. Anyone had luck refilling the toner on this thing? I'm looking for a cheaper refill than my lexmark C534

amazon is a LARGE internet retailer. it would almost always be able to undercut what bricks-and-mortar stores would be charging for virtually anything. I initially bought the unit at a norcal compusa for about $650 after taxes. then i googled this thingy for some technical questions, and out pops the amazon link. got from amazon for around $425. returned the compusa merchandise the next day.
