The rep I talked to said she couldn't do...had to send me to "hardlines" whatever that is. She said she would send an email.Go to your order page though, and find the "found a lower price?" link and submit a claim.

Like a dumb idiot - I paid Amazon $299 for it 2 weeks ago. Still in the box. Have a notion to return it. Wish I could find human at Amazon to jus t give me a credit that represents the difference in my foolish purchase price and this price today.

I decieded to call amazon rep. this morning at 1-866-423-5355 and he took care of the lower price refund for the three tv's I purchased last week. He was very polite and within 30 minutes I was sent an email confirming the the refund.

I'm still holding out hope that the price of this TV will drop again before Christmas. I'm not paying $1800+ for this TV. Supposedly, Fry's was selling it for $1499+tax ($1623 total in Texas) a couple weeks ago.

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

I purchased this TV from Amazon on Oct 31, since then the price has dropped significantly 3 times. Each time I have contacted Amazon customer service, and have been credited with the additional savings based on its current sale price. As of Friday, I have been refunded over $400.00 off my original sales price!The 2 pieces of advice I offer are; First purchase the TV, it it truly outstanding .. Second, contact Amazon for a sales refund the moment you notice a lower price to insure you receive the refund (if you wait a day, the price may increase again.)I hope this post helps, and I hope you enjoy your new Samsung LNT5271F 52" as much as I do!

Almost every retailer raised their price for this TV after the Thanksgiving promotion. I thought everyone knew that retailers traditionally offered specials to spur sales after Thanksgiving. I got mine at $879 shipped through Amazon. Keep in mind that Amazon offered this TV at $879 for a week after Thanksgiving.

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.

Come on! $200 bucks!! just drop the price so you guys can sell more! Volume sales! Dont be like Bestbuy and be a sell out

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

It's funny that Amazon listed EE as having the TV and now they are on back order. EE has them listed as in store only. I've been waiting 3 1/2 weeks also because it's a good price when ever they get it shipped.

It's comparable in price with most other retailers -- +/- $30. If you have the option, like I did, to get it locally so it doesn't have to be shipped, that would be the best way to go. But, yes, price-wise Amazon is in the same range as other suppliers of this TV.

I was a newbie to Amazon. I kept checking their site a couple times a day the week of 12-29-08. I bought my Z on 1-31-08 for $1,549.00 free shipping and no taxes. Same TV @ Best Buy was $2,399+ tax.PS: I bought the TV from Amazon and not one of the Market Place vendors.

I purchased this tv from Amazon and everything went fine. As a matter of fact, I have purchased many things (50+) from Amazon and have not had one issue. I know you are looking for responses from people who have had issues, but don't let them scare you - they are highly reputable and from what I have heard their customer service and return policies are excellent. Do not hesitate to place your order, chances are you will not beat the price. With free shipping it is a steal. Plus they bring the tv right into your living room, take it out of the box, set it up, and make sure it works before they leave. I purchased this tv from Amazon and everything went fine.

Yes, I would be interested in this TV also at $535.99 with free shipping, how do we find out if Amazon will honor this?

It seems like the discount is on and off every other week for this TV at least. And the recent trend has been that it is getting less and less. However they also cut the price of the TV a ltitle bit a few weeks back. Though I am in the same position basically as the OP. I am waiting for it to fall around 1050-1100 all in then I am ready to snap it up.

Contact Amazon for official policies on pre-sell prices. Vizio's website states that this TV is slated to go on sell this month. I contacted them a couple of days ago and they told me that they shipped a bunch to Amazon and other Vizio retailers as well. It is now up to Amazon to launch these things. I am cautiously optimistic that this thing will be in my living room within two weeks. (As long as I have it before football season anyways.)

Fry's has it for $1099 as of Sunday 2/8 (advertised for $1499 with $400 off instantly). Amazon is out of their mind selling this TV for $1,499.99!
