lol ....I wonder if or when they will drop it again? We supposed to be getting Black Friday Deals not price jumps! Anyway... hopefully they will drop it back to $624 or lower in a week or 2.

it's going up because Amazon no longer has any in stock, they are now being sold by other retailers....

I'm right with you, buddy. Just waiting for it to drop again. Not cool, Amazon....not cool.

This was 539 + shipping yesterday, $588 total. Went to Best Buy today they reduced theirs from 624 to 599 but would not meet online price. Circuit City online was 574 yesterday, today its 599. I guess all are directed by manufacture - isn't this price fixing! I actually came home from Best Buy and was going to buy from Amazon.com but no longer feel the urge.

I love Amazon.com. I have shopped here since day one. It makes me sad to see Amazon go toward the ebay direction. My "cart items" had increased overnight, too. Amazon.com has gotten too big and too unpredictable for my comfort. Ps...I don't know who is dumb enough to go buy this toy for $200 bucks...but hasn't this happen to every popular toy on the market around Christmas time...(ex..cabbage patch kids in the 80's sold for hundreds of dollars.)

Hold out for a while. It was listed at $367 on here not that long ago. This is Amazon price gouging.

Thanks guys, weird how it was cheaper earlier. $1674 1/29/08. How do I make sure I get notified of a price drop?

I bought this at Amazon for $998 on Thanksgiving day. It then went to $1038 and then to $1088 and now $1225. I don't think it will go back down again.

They cancelled my order today. I bought mine for 99.99, and it's up for sale for $129 now. So it's available but just not at the price they quoted me weeks ago??!?!? What the hell? Thanks Amazon for making my Xmas shopping more complicated!

The price seems to be the lowest when there are only a few(1-4)models left. I bought mine last week when Amazon only had three left and the price was about $80 dollars less than today. I have noticed this before that when they get a new shipment the price is $2000 and when only a few left it goes down to $1800.

Hey Guys, I feel the same way. I've been watching the price (LN52A650) since April when it debuted and have noticed the price flucuations starting just a few months ago. I don't get it. You mention the popularity of the new Samsung line. I think it has really gained momentum the last month or two. A lot of the retailers, (e.g. Sears, BB, Circuit City, etc.) have been pushing the whole Samsung line in their advertisments. I'm just hoping the price resumes its price decline come early fall before the start of the X-mas shopping season. Just acquired my upgraded NAD A/V receiver and TV console for the Samsung, just need the TV now. Hey Guys, I feel the same way.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

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!

Third party sellers. Amazon probably doesn't have any in stock. If they get any more in, the price will go back to msrp.

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part.I guess January has become gouge month or something.

Same here, man. It was $2544. It jumped to $2700 and then $2850. I want to get it soon, but I don't trust those other external sites with their weird return policies. Anyone else know a reputable dealer that sells it for Amazon's previous price?

It has risen from $1469 to $1499 a couple of days ago. I managed to get it at the old price, beating the increase by a few days. Might get higher by February, the $ is in really bad shape worldwide and no end is in sight of it's fall.

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

You are so right and Amazon had this for $16.54 in October. The price has gone up even more since your post!

dang-I ALMOST grabbed this before Christmas when it was $1599.--then it started going up right after Christmas and then started going down again-of course I thought it would keep going down and now it is rising again--and quickly too. I don't understand it, esp. when the newer Samsungs have been out for awhile, but I guess I'm on the waiting list again!Marty
