I see what you mean ... the default price was higher because Amazon stock is out. It says: "Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item." So I suppose you can try that and cancel the order if you aren't happy with the response (or lack of response). It sounds like a pretty awesome toy I must say.

WTF Amazon. There was no deal or on sale. You just post something you have in stock and a price you are not willing to sell. Stop all these BS. We are not naive buyers. Save your stupid tricks and pay some respect to your customers.

there are several sellers on Amazon. So it depends on the seller. The cheapest price will post at the top, but when that sellers stock runs out it will be replaced by the next seller

I was just about to buy it a few days ago, when the price shot up. But I HAVE seen prices go down after putting them in my cart, so I'm willing to wait for it to drop again. It's gone down once since then, although not to the price I originally saw it. At this point it's a crap shoot.

Should be a $500 off promo in the next week or two. Amazon posted the promo prematurely yesterday am, then pulled it in the afternoon. Just keep watching.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

This is an option, Amazon (usually) doesn't let you outfit options as they only carry one type of stock.

I checked a number of other resellers' sites last night and they are all still shipping iLife '06 as well (and apparently trying to deplete the stock since there are so many special offers on them). So I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon's stock is still loaded with iLife '06. If you get tired of waiting, I just found this morning that if the machine comes from Amazon with iLife '06 now, it would qualify for Apple's iLife '08 Up-To-Date program where you can get the upgrade for 9.95 plus tax. Ten dollars more is still a great deal on this machine so I might go that route even though it will take a little longer to have the computer with iLife '08 on it.

I'm so sorry...I just checked with the Amazon warehouse and they said I didn't have anymore in stock. Some sort of error...Thanks for your inquiry. I apologize that I couldn't be more helpful to you.

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.

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!

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

I do not know why the listing states that the item is currently unavailable. I was able to go to the listing & click the 'new' button, and then you should be able to purchase it from there, as we do have guaranteed stock available on this item. Thank you. RageCams

Many things, including supplier stock, BUT primarily the date of purchase. It is not a new Amazon item. Therefore, you can check Amazon to see how well the item sells.

Odd you should mention that, similar thing happened here. First I had an estimated delivery date, applied certificates, and then it went back to out of stock. The original response from Amazon made it sound like an unexpected supply issue on their end. I e-mailed Amazon again to try and get a better answer.Rather frustrating, especially when it pops up as in stock sometimes, only to be from ANTOnline and not Amazon.

I actually just ordered it on Overstock.com as they said they had just 2 in stock...about an hour later, they were apologizing for an inventory error and that it wasn't available. I knew it was too good to be true but had to try anyway. I wish I knew what the big delay is with this thing, it's kind of annoying.

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(
