Why does the price fluctuate so much: Does anyone know why it does this?

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

Two reasons: 1) There are several different sellers on this listing and they might all have different dates 2) The date of the current stock is always changing.

I don't have answer, just comment for question.... Confusing sometimes when several vendors are selling what appears to be the same item, often prices vary widely. Then next time they're all close within a few pennies. Go figure, unless different regions have higher demand and thus can charge more. So maybe Internet isn't the great equalizer afterall. Who know how this system works?

It is possible that the item was priced incorrectly and you benefitted. The seller was violating MAP pricing and may have been caught. I cannot say for sure. But current price us now proper so you just took advantage if that discounted 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.

Hi. Sellers have software that changes prices constantly. I suggest buying the lowest price you can fine. thank you

Christy, Thanks for your question. There are market fluctuations in the price of things, and they go up and down based on any number of factors, mostly from the manufacturer. When their price goes up, to Amazon, the price goes up to compensate. We always are searching for different sources of products to get the best price possible. I hope that helps. It's nothing more than just the price of goods themselves. I hope that helps.

I apologize for responding a little late. As you know prices fluctuate, I wished it was fluctuating that closely when I purchased my K-5, as I would've bought the K-5 II. I hope you purchased the K-5 II and are happily using it!

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.

The price fluctuates. But you're right, when I bought it, it was $1.07/oz. I can't imagine it was ever $0.12/oz.

I agree. The prices fluctuate and sometimes you get lucky and find some discount code or something.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

Ordered last weekend for $29 - had been $38. Free shipping, too from Amazon. As to fluctuating prices - when you order something from Amazon, even if your order has shipped & is already in transit to you & you see a price drop - just contact Amazon.,com Customer Service & they will adjust the price for you. Be polite, since complaining or using less than complimentary language about the pricing event won't get you what you want.

i've found prices jump around on amazon based on how many times i browse items. maybe it's some clever data-tracking way to monitor my browsing and then coerce me to purchase a particular item because of fear the price is going to continue to increase, but also maybe it's just difference in suppliers as amazon draws from different suppliers for many products. are you sure the supplier is the same at $87 as the supplier was for your first purchase?

Catherine, Prices fluctuate and are dependent on multiple factors like the cost of ingredients, shipping, and the manufacturer's price. Please let me know if you need anything else, and have a great day. -Kaylan with customer service

There are fees to ship and sell items on Amazon that may cause a variation in prices. The price of certain items vary from store to store, city to city, state to state. Prices also fluctuate seasonally. Perhaps there is not a great demand for that item at Rite so they've lowered the price to sell that item. Simply stated, the cause for price variations may vary for various reasons.
