Amazon is Price Gouging...AGAIN: Well I had someone just now before I write this, who rarely shops at Amazon check the item and her price is $115......Thus why is she getting $115 as I did on first check and mine keeps increasing???

Consipracy theory isn't necessary to explain this , just basic economics ... Have you considered that the college boys just finished final exams in June and are free to devote themselves to upgrading their PCs (thus increasing demand , and driving up the price , of this item) ? As I write , in September , kids are just getting back to college , and the same dynamics seem to be playing out ... with the item price jumping above (the stable-demand price of about) $100 as supplies are depleted . Am I not correct ?

I bought this item last year and it was $15.00 and I flipped to come back and see it at $34.44. BUT the difference is the seller. Last time I bought from Amazon and this item is not Amazon as the seller, right now if you find Amazon as the seller the item is $17.56 so not too much difference from your $17.00. Another buyer pointed this out to me recently as I flipped about the difference as well.

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.

Hopefully this is a mistake by Amazon. It happens from time to time. Other retailers have it as low as $279.

Hello Courtney, We do apologize for any inconvenience, however if a company raises the wholesale price of their items, we must also raise the retail price in order to continue to offer the lowest price possible across the board for all products. We are sorry for any disappointment. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, Jessi V.

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony

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.

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.

BTW, I just checked the price. It's now 169.00. I paid 159.00. Some other people that left reviews paid less than I did.

Its strange...I bought this computer at Best Buy - 3 weeks ago (4/14) for $599...its now $749 there and at Amazon.com, the price has always been this high. Thought Amazon would be the less expensive route - guess I was wrong. The computer is great for my needs, though.

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?

It's up to $199.00 now.. I can't believe this of Amazon, I've always trusted them - this place is getting as bad as Ebay!!

As of today, Amazon.com has this as "List Price $89.95; Price: $39.95." I think what you're seeing is an inflated "list price" so that the price you're actually charged looks like a bargain. Everybody likes a bargain.

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.
