Why so expensive at Amazon????
1573486
My wife bought this TV at Amazon for $798. We called first (866-423-5355) - this is the large order placement customer service number. The rule is you have to order it first, then wait until it ships (a day or two) then call the same number back and tell them you saw it at samsclub.com for $598 - they refund the $200 back to the method of payment. Worked great - and they were very friendly. Only risk is that Sams could raise their price in the interim. But we were willing to take the risk for the advantage of buying from Amazon.

Because sellers think they can get that price. Amazon is a huge marketplace of sellers marketing their wares. The thing they don't understand is that I will not become a regular customer of theirs if they are going to change prices drastically for no reason. If I buy something for say, $28.00 and then the next time I come back it's $48.00, then I will not buy it from that seller. I will look elsewhere, usually Ebay. I think it's ridiculous and it just goes to show you that the sellers are in it for the fast buck and not to build a business or relationships with their customers. For that reason, they will never have my loyalty as a customer.

Same thing with me. I put it in my cart earlier today at $399 from Amazon.com. Now my cart is saying that Amazon doesn't carry this, and if i still want it, it will be fulfilled by another vendor for $429. It feels like some shady maneuvering going on here.

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.)

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.

Hi, I am in the USA, but I was looking at this item and saw your question and on my site (assuming our sites are the same) I scrolled to the bottom, and right under where it says amazon.com there are other country's and UK (on my site) is the last one on the right (looking at screen). I hope this will help. The price is also different as my site it is $14.72 USD and UK said 39.01. why do they make it so hard to find this stuff anyway, good luck. D

I know what you mean. They upped the price on me when it was in my cart by nearly $200, so I went with another vendor.Amazon's current $2,499 price is the same as Circuit City, which isn't very competitive. There are several places online that sell it cheaper at the moment with free shipping. Just go to nextag or pricegrabber to find the best deal.

I bought this iron for $55 last year... same model and everything.. It is a really good iron and I was going to buy one for my mother-in-law for Christmas but I am completely shocked at the outrageous price... I can't believe that Amazon is ripping people off!!!

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.

I agree that this TV is excessively priced, especially since this is an old model as pointed out by Shaq. I don't understand Amazon's strategy. If they are sitting on a bunch of old TVs in their inventory, why don't they price them with a true sales price ?? Like in the week before the Super Bowl for example ?? Just a suggestion... I know I would consider buying it then !!

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.

I can get it locally for $7/box, but $14/box on amazon (through CustomerFirst) is outrageous. I even checked, it's the same size box.

I can't believe the current price! I bought this unit about three years ago for $100 and now the price has more than tripled? What gives, Amazon?

I think it's strange that they are selling them for another company Quote! for $149.00 with thier Prime free shipping. But they can't send ours that we we pre-ordered months back for $65.95????

I saw these at costco yesterday, they sell for $15.39. I got a couple of them here from amazon with prime and mom discounts for $11.99 each. But as to why they are so extraordinarily expensive here, well just look at how much commission amazon takes to sell here. Fulfillment by amazon is quite pricey too.

Because Amazon allows several different vendors to sell products through their marketplace. The search result reflects the lowest price among those vendors, and that won't always be Amazon. If that's the case, you'll see that low price over on the right hand side of the page. I am usually inclined to spend a few bucks more and get something from Amazon though.
