why did the price double?

I don't know, but the price at Amazon jumped from $91.99 on 2-27-15 to $96.99 on 3-1-15. I bought at Best Buy on 2-26-15 for $51.99. Was not in stock, but they ordered from warehouse. Will pick up on 3-3-15. Exact same model.

I have no idea why the price doubled (from when?), but it's normally $52 at Best Buy, and it's on sale at Best Buy now (11/20/13) for $40. Same model, I just bought it.

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

Most likely the price usually goes up when the set is no longer available from Corelle. The supply gets low and the demand is still high.

I found the price change upsetting, too. But since the item was already in my cart I learned that it was because the stock was depleted and the provider didn't have anymore at the lower price. - My first impulse was to blame Amazon but they proved me wrong. It apparently is not their fault.

I'm wondering the same.... The prices all but doubled in the last 2 months? My last order I received was $27 for 24 cans of 5.5 oz Turkey now it's $49?

My pleasure. I just looked at the price and it's gone way up. I think I paid around $30 a couple of years ago. I guess they realized how good it was relative to other options.

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

I purchased this about a month ago and it was the same price as the silver one. Why the price jump'?

Thank you for contacting us. Due to the price increase from the manufacturer we had to go up on our price as well. I am sorry.

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.

In comparing the "cross layer in gold packaging", all I can see is the price on that one is double.

Gypsy and CJ, the price has already gone up several dollars since I bought it around a month ago. I considered it a very clear indicator that merchants want to get as much as they can from their stock (not limiting that remark to amazon). I also looked on other sites.. it was expensive there too, and now it is not appearing on most.

I just noticed the same thing also. I paid the same back in Dec I do not know why the price jumped so high.

Demand was outpacing supply. So they raised the price to decrease the demand. ECON 101It's working for me, they can keep it. No way I'm paying 30 bucks for this.

Probably because whoever you bought it from was tired of losing money and going out of business. A lot of "sellers" on Amazon think that a cheaper price will bring them more business and eventually go broke.

seems they would still be charging double the shipping cost if you buy two, so that was not a straight forward answer!

If there is a Cost Plus World Market in your area, you can buy them for $6.99. I have no idea why the prices are so high here.
