And now we're down another five cents.I know I'm on the verge of obsession, but it confuses and entertains me to see the price on this particular lightsaber change, while the other two in the same series have not.

Because sellers think they can get that price. Amazon is a huge marketplace of sellers marketing their wares. The thing they don't understand is that I will not become a regular customer of theirs if they are going to change prices drastically for no reason. If I buy something for say, $28.00 and then the next time I come back it's $48.00, then I will not buy it from that seller. I will look elsewhere, usually Ebay. I think it's ridiculous and it just goes to show you that the sellers are in it for the fast buck and not to build a business or relationships with their customers. For that reason, they will never have my loyalty as a customer.

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

One place on amazon has it listed at 19.99 and one has it listed for $89. The item numbers and all the details are the same. Am I missing something?

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

Good question! the price is now 60$ not sure what is going on here. someone care to tell us why the price on this item keeps going up, I paid 25$ for it and that was too much.

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.

Actually, this is not sold by Amazon.com. If you read carefully you should notice this: "Availability: In Stock. Ships from and sold by ToyWiz." Remember that when you shop at Amazon, you could being shopping in another store. Price differences is the reason why I never shop from another Amazon store rather than Amazon.com Several weeks ago, Amazon had it in stock and sold it by $39.99.

I bought three for around $16 each on Amazon. I think they fluctuate the price because some folks add them to their Save For Later list in their shopping carts and wait for the prices to drop. Vendors change the price all the time so the notifications pop up in the cart indicating the price change. I agree with the others, challenge the price with Amazon. At worst, they'll probably have you send the one you have back as a return and let you buy again at the listed price (and hope it stays low!).

I paid $2 plus $2 shipping. It is currently shown as $4. My guess is the price changes with popularity. I would keep watching and buy when it drops!

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

OMG! I've just checked it on Amazon and you're right! That's outrageous. I have it in my Saved For Later file and I see that it says the item is no longer available from the selected seller. The price has changed. I won't be ordering it at that price! If you find out what the reason is, I'd love to know. Good luck finding a replacement.

Prices fluctuate. If you shop on Amazon long enough, you'll find that prices for certain item categories (like physical books) are more stable than others (like personal electronics). It almost certainly wasn't a straight shoot from $17 to $28. The price probably rose and dropped, rose and dropped, before eventually reaching $28.00. And it's possible that the $17 price listing was from another vendor than the $28 price listing. $17 sounds awful low for this product. I'm guessing the $17 price was from a third party--not shipped and sold directly by Amazon. Marketplace sellers will sometimes lower the item price to draw customers in, only to raise the shipping and handling to more than compensate for the subtotal deduction. Keep an eye on the price--check it every day. In my experience, if the price reached $17 once, it probably will again. But it might take a few more months to get there.

It depends on the seller who is selling it. We try to be the lowest seller on Amazon but there are many sellers selling this same product. Depending on how competitive the other sellers are, will affect the pricing change differences.

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!

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