High Price This robot is available from most other retailers for $89.95. What gives Amazon? The list price is $99.95, lowest price on Amazon is $139.95!!! Radio Shack, Target, even Sharper Image has it for the lower price. Usually Amazon has competitive pricing, but this is too far outside the pricing arena.

I missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

I got this off Woot.com for $45 the other day. They sold out quick. Keep your eyes on Woot. They get stuff like this and the new robosapiens often...

The list price is $90. This model has been discontinued so this is great price.

I ordered it from Amazon on 4 Dec 10 (three weeks ago) for $260. I see it has been available for first $400 and now $290. I guess they won't ship it to me as long as they are getting orders at a higher price. Shame on Amazon - why did they advertise and take orders if their plan was to delay shipment in favor of newer orders? UPDATE (6 Jan 11): I actually ordered it for $235 (the balance was for the mount), and Amazon has just given me a delivery date. All is well with the world.

I don't know what Amazon is doing but all the toys I had in my shopping cart priced $15-$20 are now over $100 overnight. What are they doing? Trying to lose customers I think! I'm done with Amazon.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help.

Same thing with me. I put it in my cart earlier today at $399 from Amazon.com. Now my cart is saying that Amazon doesn't carry this, and if i still want it, it will be fulfilled by another vendor for $429. It feels like some shady maneuvering going on here.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

The price is up and down all the time, on Amazon. Got mine at Radio Shack for $229.

Amazon doesn't price match. Put it in your cart and check it daily. the price will go down to $55 or so.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

Amazon just raised the price about $80. Must be because it's out of stock. I don't think I'll buy it now.

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.

Amazon has it back in stock at $17.95 and free shipping eligible. I see the Electronica Direct vendor now dropped their price to $16.95 to compete, a week ago they were ripping people off at $59.95 for the same item! I'm not going to give them any of my business, I'll stick with Amazon, they've treated me fairly over the 10 years I've been a customer.

The cost can change depending on whether Amazon is shipping it directly, or going through a reseller. Give it a few days, pay attention to who is shipping -- you'll catch the lower price again soon enough! Went through the same thing with a play kitchen for my son last year.

I pre-ordered this item on 11 Feb. I check today and the Amazon price has dropped by $18. I canceled my preorder and re-preordered. In the meantime, I'm off to find those places where the device is in-stock!Engadget has pictures! - http://www.engadget.com/photos/slimblade-trackball-hands-on/1373122

HI I just went to home depot site and it is the same exact one for 439.00. I see that amazon has it now for one thousand eight hundred plus dollars which is absolutely ridiculous. I hope no one buys it for this price. At the time I paid 499.00. even that was high due to the fact that water gets in somehow from the back. Hope this helps.

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.
