Constant price changes for these discs. Why!? The prices for these AmazonBasics DVD-R/DVD+R discs keep changing. One day, they're $18. The next day, they shoot up to $35. Then they go down to $25, then up to $35, then down to $20, then up to $27, then up to $35. I understand that Amazon randomly changes its prices, but it seems to be erratic with these blank discs.

I had two items in my Amazon cart yesterday and today the prices shot went up! I decided I'm not going to put up with this nonsense anymore and just not deal with Amazon at all! Goodby Amazon.com! I'm sure there are plenty other folks you can jerk around!

I have always liked shopping at Amazon but these price changes make shopping difficult. Within a short time, I have seen the price go from $17 to $25 then down to $19 and up to $28 today. How can I shop at a site where the price can change by over 60% in a matter of days?

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

Their prices are electronically controlled to go automatically go up or down based on purchases. I have noticed this on many of their items. This price will go down, I think $17-$18 is their trigger price (the lowest it goes to) and around $35-$36 is the highest.

Well...what do we have here? Price went from $34.88 to $18.27. Good. Now keep it there Amazon.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

Tech Geek, appreciate your view. How is SR11 working for you ? Junior Piquito, I noticed that AbesOfMaine is selling it for 730 (plus free bag). I've been following prices on various web sites for 4-5 weeks now. At one point, Amazon.com dropped to 790. I don't know why it shot back up. I've never bought anything from AbesOfMaine before and have had a wonderful experience with Amazon.com shipping and customer service so far. I am going to wait out another week and if it doesn't drop, will buy it from the other place. I hope amazon can offer competitive price.

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.

Amazon is not asking $900 for this product. One seller is asking that price, and my guess is that this is a product that's been listed for awhile by someone with the kind of algorithm that once created a book about flies that was being sold for $23,698,655.93. I can tell you what I paid for this very same machine (like new, minus accessories): $7 at a local non-profit store. So, there you go: the price is somewhere between $7 and $900. ;)For a real answer: since it's not a "new" model, I assume, it's probably worth what someone is willing to pay for it on eBay.

I've noticed big price fluctuations with a lot of products on Amazon... It works out for me, though, because the prices dip drastically at other times... gotta love getting an item retailed at $120 for $31.50, don't you think?

Hello, we apologise for the price change. We try to maintain the same, if not steady price for our products. However, market prices are always fluctuating therefore we have to adjust our price accordingly on Amazon.

That would have been good, but I got a Blu-ray DVD player for X-mas. I am getting pissed because amazon keeps lowering the price but does not price match for 30 days like any good retail store would. I may have to return and repurchase.

I bought three for around $16 each on Amazon. I think they fluctuate the price because some folks add them to their Save For Later list in their shopping carts and wait for the prices to drop. Vendors change the price all the time so the notifications pop up in the cart indicating the price change. I agree with the others, challenge the price with Amazon. At worst, they'll probably have you send the one you have back as a return and let you buy again at the listed price (and hope it stays low!).

Yes it seems something has changed with Amazon, maybe the management ,someone trying to make a name for him or herself, but i tell you what , Netflix recently raised all their prices and lost customers and their stock went down significantly!Love Amazon and am hoping these high prices are temporary as some sort of an experiment, but i can say this, in the past month Amazon has been the highest price on almost everything when i compare prices.

We are constantly trying to provide the lowest price to our customers. As our competitors price changes, we adjust our price. This is why you will see price fluctuations on Amazon.

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

Agreed, Amazon is not what it used to be and further more, it has to contend with the likes of Book Depository (Brooks) and WOW HD (Movies). I only buy from Amazon if I can't get it anywhere else (Which trust me Amazon, is getting rarer and rarer these days)I don't expect free shipping but compared to what it used to be, it rarely makes it worth buying from Amazon these day.Super Saver might be nice for those in the States but it's super punisher if you live in New Zealand.

The price will always change depending on the seller. The regular price locally will be just under $4. When Amazon has it in stock they also charge under $4.

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.

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.

Be sure to call customer service. I have heard that Amazon will not adjust prices even if they change a few hours later.
