You can buy the KDL-46Z4100 from Sony for $1,799.99 -- free delivery. What's with Amazon? http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665411950

I have contacted both Amazon (three times) and also the seller regarding this. The seller claims that Amazon set the price at $10,000.00 when they temporarily ran out of the item. Amazon informs me that sellers normally set their own prices and that this price is an obvious error which will be taken care of (hasn't yet). As someone who shops on Amazon weekly and occasionally uses 1-click, I know for certain this is not how out of stock merchandise is normally listed or priced by Amazon or its sellers. Usually sellers use the inventory feature which notifies customers they're "temporarily out of stock", and they can even include the "notify when available" option. Since Amazon offers the 1-click purchase feature, pricing out of stock items in this way seems like questionable business practice. I advise shoppers to be extremely aware of the prices on items while shopping on Amazon. This is an item I've been wanting to try for a while. It was in my shopping cart when I noticed the price change a while back. I had planned to place an order once the price was corrected, but I have yet to receive a satisfactory resolution from Amazon or the seller. Amazon told me they've opened an investigation and will get back to me within 48 hours. That was a week ago. I can only conclude that Amazon is no more bothered by this than the seller is.

Thanks G. Mercado, I did notice that it wasn't actually Amazon itself selling at the higher price. I was just referring to the extra $200.00 profit that Toyzz was trying to make. I seriously thought it was a misprint as I would hope people are not that desperate for TC. I know I am not!

Amazon retailers are having a nice time trying to rip us off at $300 or $250. Thanks!

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

If it's cheaper somewhere else, buy it there. I think Amazon just chooses the price that will maximize the money income.

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

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.

Agreed. It is something that happens now and again on Amazon. We have no control when this sort of pricing strategy happens. Good luck, The Afternoon

Its like you guys are speaking after my own heart. I totally feel the same way. I was about to pull the trigger on this set and boom another 200 dollars... Ouch. Unless this set drops to the 2168 it was at or lower I'll be taking my business elsewhere. What were you thinking Amazon ???

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 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?

You are right, the prices have gotten outrageous!! I bought this product in March 2014 for $30 and some change via amazon prime. I came back to buy some more, but not at these prices.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

Price gouging in full swing - I purchased for about 30% less just a few months ago! I expected more from Amazon

Because prices on Amazon constantly fluctuate. The main provider can and do change their prices based upon numerous things/ What you do is put the item of interest in your cart. Then check your cart once a day. It often goes down. But you find if you are patient it goes down even further. It's the Amazon price game. They are not in control of all these things. Maybe some. It really is a game for your patience and guessing. Like gambling with you $20. I've left things sit in my cart for months!
