Why do you have the retail price listed at $99. It's just deceiving when you know the MSRP is 69.99 at every retailer in the US.

Hello Lee, Thank you for your inquiry. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is $99.99. Accessory Genie along with several other retailers have made the product available at a discounted rate as this is a fairly new product. Sincerely, Accessory Genie Customer Service

It's listed for 10,399 currently on Amazon, same price as elsewhere (and for $10,499 on the Canon site). Why would you assume they are lying? Perhaps this was the initial list price and it was an oversight that it didn't get changed. Why would this make you not buy through Amazon? I don't get it.

There is no catch. MSRP is MSRP, just a SUGGESTED price. These have been in the 150-200 range for several years. Brand new and spanking awesome. At least the ones from Amazon are. Also, these have now been discontinued so I would expect once Amazon's stock runs out, resellers will be raising prices.

It's not really a "price drop" if the list price here is still $379.99 and then they just say its $40 off when in actuality $339.99 IS the list price lol. Amazon trying to pull out the foolish deals.

Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.

It is still on sale for $99 at B&N;, so don't buy it here. Plus, there's an extra 25% discount today!

The lowest I've seen these go for was around $129.99 during black friday on newegg. Original MSRP is $350 so I think that was a phenomenal deal.

I chatted with Amazon, and they said there was no definite date on when they'd actually receive this product. ExcaliberPC hasn't really been monkeying with the prices per say. At one point, they were informed by ASUS that the price was going to be $549.99, but the price was then announced back at $499.99. So they made that adjustment accordingly, only they still kept the list price at $549.99 and took the $50 off as a "discount". Yeah, shameful marketing move but the bottom line is that it's going at the MSRP and they do indeed have it in stock. I bit on ordering it from there rather than waiting on Amazon. The product has already shipped, so if you don't feel like waiting on Amazon or another more known vendor, I'd say that ExcaliberPC.com is the best source for this product.

I asked Amazon the same question 1-2 years ago when it listed an Illy espresso machine higher than the MSRP and showed a "discount," resulting in a price that was still higher than the full MSRP! Amazon's response was that its list prices were proprietary and should not be confused with MSRPs. Personally, I feel this is a misleading practice since almost everyone associates the "full" or "regular" price with MSRP, not, say 120% of MSRP. As a result, Amazon's "discounted" prices are sometimes higher than the full MSRP.

I saw it at $995 two weeks back and thats when I pulled the trigger. Walked in to my local best buy and had them match the price.....paid 985 out the door after taxes, e.t.c.

Yes this is price gouging... personally I think Amazon should not allow items to be listed above a certain percentage of msrp. Not even sure if this will work with a modern OS (apart from Linux).

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

It's an old marketing trick -- it sets a floor price in your mind. Your are stuck evaluating the $100 difference and the $399 (original) price doesn't seem quite as bad. So, you buy the baseline product and think you saved $100.

Amazon does not always have the best price... I have watched the price on this item for a while. FYI, if you live near a microcenter, they have this laptop for $1199 - $200 (instant savings) = $999.... Its an in-store only special, but you can find more info on their website http://microcenter.com ... I have e-mailed Amazon to see if they would lower their price, but I am still waiting for a response... I also would prefer to buy from Amazon to use "prime".
